    @minneyb-unix Maybe an antivirus or similar problem. Yesterday, I had some false-positives even while trying to download N++ GitHub artifacts. I checked these "notepad++.exe"s via VirusTotal and these were flagged (only by the MS own Defender engine). Now it’s ok, so I’d try again.

    Corrupted Session Starting in Notepad++ v8.6.5, it will store session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak next to session.xml, and will automatically use that if session.xml is corrupted. However, if you ever find that you open Notepad++ (especially after an update or a system crash) and find that the files opened weren’t in the same state as when you let them, you can try this procedure: Exit Notepad++ Windows Explorer, go to %AppData%\Notepad++ (or in your appropriate config-file location if you aren’t using AppData for config) Rename session.xml to session.xml--keep Copy session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak to session.xml Run Notepad++ → If it’s now showing the right copy of your files, great! If not, exit Notepad++, delete session.xml, and rename session.xml--keep back to session.xml .

    @rdipardo , I got a statement of sorts in regard to this request, specifically, this comment: Using AI to create a PR for an open source project - is it a good thing or a bad thing? I have no judgement on that. For me, the only criterion that matters is whether the merged code will be maintainable in the future. On this point, I have to say that AI-generated PRs (I can usually tell during code review), often do not meet the critera in their current state - but many human devs don’t either.

    @Troglo37 Well, they already have a “auto-backup” feature, it just doesn’t target config files, only files you open in the editor and when you make changes to that file and haven’t closed it. I made my own program to just copy files, but I’m not ready to look at doing something that checks every possible setting for a comparison against original or recently changed config files that may have had only minor changes. I think that’s why something like this hasn’t been done yet. So many settings, AND between versions, the menu and the options may change as well, so if someone wrote such a program/plugin/feature, it would have to be constantly updated for when the Notepad++ program changes, as well.

    @davidi67 , But did you do the suggested fix for that, before uninstalling and installing an older unsupported version to see if that would work. Since the original poster never responded here, it’s unclear if that fixed the problem, and your not trying to use the fix, amounts to the same lack of knowledge this issue still presents. I haven’t had any problems so it doesn’t affect me, but others having the same issue might like to hear that you tried the fix and it worked or not, so they have a better idea of what to look for if that does or doesn’t fix it.
