    @xmm852003204 said: Tried the RC this morning. I also don’t see the “Edit with Notepad++” right-click entry after install. Ran the regsvr32 command and hit that exact same DllInstall not found error. Win11 24H2 here. Before installing v8.9.8.1 RC, did you uninstall the old version of Notepad++, or you just install RC on a PC without any Notepad++ installation? Which installer did you use?

    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 .

    I often do following steps: Open multiple files from HDD in Notepad++ and work on them. Upload the files to the server. Delete the files from my HDD while they are still open in Notepad++. Do File->Close All in Notepad++. Then I receive a prompt: “The file XYZ doesn’t exist anymore. Keep this file in editor?” To see what happens, I click “Yes.” All files get closed. There are two problems here: After asking whether to keep a file in the editor, Notepad++ closes it no matter what my answer is. After selecting “Close All” Notepad++ asks me whether to keep some deleted files open, but not all (e.g. I have four files open, all of them deleted and I get only one such question). This is not particularly annoying but I thought I would share it here because it seems there are some flaws in the application logic.

    @andrecool-68 said: All the mark of the web looks okay, and all the files are in the right place. I am not sure why it’s not working for you. With a similar installation, but 64-bit, I have no problems with Plugins Admin Admin mode: ON Can you try running not as administrator. That can sometimes mess up permissions, so maybe for some strange reason, your Admin has been denied privilege on one or more of the DLL or EXE files mentioned? installing the 64-bit 8.9.8 on that machine, instead of 32-bit, and see if it behaves the same? confirm that you don’t have this problem with v8.9.7 on the same setup First few experiments on my end: 8.9.8-64bit, non-Admin: my daily driver, and I use Plugins Admin frequently: [image: 1789590084696-dc568790-b6ce-4a3c-aaaa-422d9f5937c8-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-64bit, Admin: [image: 1789589967329-aeeef823-c099-463b-b884-00b51add713b-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-32bit, Not Admin: [image: 1789589989950-e94d8be8-7ade-4530-8536-01033d4d4e35-image.jpeg] 8.9.8-32bit, Admin: [image: 1789590011468-5247e7c8-2097-41fe-ad98-0ed554c34815-image.jpeg] So, so far, on my Win 11 machine, I cannot replicate with 64-bit or 32-bit, admin or no, with the portable (or the installed, for 8.9.8-64) Update Virtual Win 10 machine: Portable 32-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Portable 64-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Installed 64-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin Installed 32-bit: Plugins Admin is there, whether normal run or Admin [image: 1789591116798-5959e708-0015-4e87-8f3a-50f4928df7b7-image.jpeg]Notepad++ v8.9.8 (32-bit) Build time: Aug 23 2026 - 17:20:01 Scintilla/Lexilla included: 5.6.6/5.5.3 Boost Regex included: 1_90 pugixml included: 1.16 nlohmann JSON included: 3.12.0 Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe Command Line: Admin mode: ON Local Conf mode: OFF Cloud Config: OFF WinGUp: present disableNppAutoUpdate.xml: absent Periodic Backup: ON Placeholders: OFF Scintilla Rendering Mode: SC_TECHNOLOGY_DIRECTWRITE (1) Multi-instance Mode: monoInst asNotepad: OFF File Status Auto-Detection: cdEnabledNew (for current file/tab only) Dark Mode: OFF Display Info: primary monitor: 1024x666, scaling 100% visible monitors count: 1 installed Display Class adapters: 0000: Description - VirtualBox Graphics Adapter (WDDM) 0000: DriverVersion - 7.1.8.18469 OS Name: Windows 10 Home (64-bit) OS Version: 22H2 OS Build: 19045.5854 Current ANSI codepage: 1252 Plugins: mimeTools (3.1) NppConverter (4.7) NppExport (0.4) I tried to get as close to your setup as I possibly can, and I still cannot replicate your problem.

    Search++ version 0.7 is available: Use different styles for Mark and Show. This helps keep Mark and Show cleanly separated, and it makes Always hide all lines and remove Show style from text before Show command behave more as one would expect with the default scope Show command, without introducing an inconsistency with the way other default scope commands behave. Add several commands to the Tools menu, including support for the new Show style and more ability to manipulate Marked text. Some shortcuts have changed: most underlined menu characters and associated shortcut keys now match. Expand visible on the Tools menu gives a rudimentary ability to show context for matches when using the Show command. Each expand visible action adds a line to the beginning and end of each visible block of text. Add Find, Replace and Show tools to the main plugin menu. These commands are not very useful from the menu itself, but adding them makes it possible to set Notepad++ keyboard shortcuts for them. Correct a fault in Show All Lines from the Tools menu that caused unexpected scrolling behavior. Improve the logic for vertical positioning when using Show All Lines. Comments, criticisms, bug reports and questions as to what the hell I could have been thinking are, as always, most welcome. The biggest change in this release is making Show more useful. Since Show no longer “marks” text but uses a different style to highlight matches, I expect the two concepts to interfere less. Show now uses a second indicator (matched to the color of the selected show style) so that it can, with some limitations, show zero length matches. Previously, the setting Always hide all lines and remove Show style from text before Show command did what it was designed to do, but the design wasn’t very good, because leftover marks from a previous Show still affected the scope of a subsequent default Show command. Separating the mark and show styles fixes that, so the setting now causes Show commands to clear the results of any previous show, as one would expect. Another thing that inhibited the use of Show was that you had to use both Remove marks from active document and Show all lines from the Tools menu to clear the results of a Show, and Show all lines had an annoying bug that screwed up vertical positioning after you used it. That bug is fixed, and a new command, Clear show (show all and clear style), resets the effect of Show all at once. I expanded the Tools menu with several new commands; how useful they all are can only be discovered from experience. The new Expand visible command on the Tools menu works with Show to make it possible to see a list of matches with some context: each time you click Expand visible (or use the Ctrl+P shortcut) each block of visible text is expanded to include the line before it and the line after it. The addition of Find and Replace on the main plugin menu makes it possible to set shortcuts for the stepwise search commands. If you don’t typically use Alt+F and Alt+R to access the File and Run menus in Notepad++, you might try assigning those as shortcuts for Search++ Find and Replace and checking Settings | Focus the document after stepwise Find or Replace commands. The result is that you can use Alt+F or Alt+R to begin a search, have keyboard focus go immediately to the document, then continue to use the same key combinations to move through matches in the document. (This is somewhat like the behavior of F3 in Notepad++.)
