@Alan-Kilborn Thanks. I kept getting a zero length file via Firefox. I tried Edge. It hung for about 45 seconds but then downloaded and so I have the file. As it seems to be a glitch on my side I have deleted my original comment.

I can download both x64 portable packages (zip & 7z) without problem. I believe it’s the problem of cache from your side (browser/ISP).

@Mr-Brunes said in Notepad++ release 8.6.5:

I assume this is related to this upgrade - apols if not.!

It’s not. Please create a new topic thread if you want to continue discussion on what you started here. But…start by reading the FAQ.

@Fruchtzwerg94 said in Notepad++ v8.5.5 :

@shridhar-singh Yes, this is most propably related to the discussion above. You can try to remove some plugins to the one who is responsible for that or just wait for the next Notepad++ release which fixes it.

in my windows 10, last version fixed this problem. you can upgrade to notepad.

Notepad++ v8.6.5 Release Candidate has just been updated from RC2 to RC3.

I apologize for repeatedly introducing fixes that may appear non-critical.
However, I’d like to draw your attention to a recent crash-fix related to the Shortcut Mapper:
A portion of the code within the Shortcut Mapper required modernization. This step is essential to prevent potential issues in the future. As part of this modernization process, a significant number of modifications were made during the RC2 phase. Given the importance of maintaining a stable application, I am prioritizing the completion of this task in the current release.

Sorry for any caused inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
