Is it normal when you buy a code signing certificate, you just receive the certificate without being controlled your identity?

i’ve seen that too, some authorities seem to only verify a random amount of their ssl cert request identities or organizations.
seems like even if they pretty all are extremely overpriced at the moment, they lack the interest to pay for more employees ;-)

10 days after I receive the token, and surely the certificate is under my official name - it should be “Notepad++” instead.

afaik. some authorities only issue a cert to a physical entity, a person or organization, not to a product name or trade mark.

Do you have any good reference to buy code signing certificate (for Microsoft) ?

unfortunately at least i don’t know any at the moment.
i used to purchase my code certs from startssl for a very affordable price of €59,- for 3 years, but they don’t exist anymore and i can’t afford to buy one for 500,- a single year or so for my private uses.

if anyone knows any affordable and flexible cert source like startssl was, which also allows an issuer alias name instead of a person’s real name or legal entity, im very interested too.

Thanks Alan; both of these solutions work…

Maybe this and that might give some hints.

welcome to the notepad++ community.

i haven’t tried out myself, if the speech plugin still works in notepad++ 7.6.2, as this plugin was last updated in 2008, but you can give it a try, by putting the SpeechPlugin.dll into this location:
%PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\SpeechPlugin\SpeechPlugin.dll

enter %PROGRAMDATA%\Notepad++\plugins in your explorer
(which will probably lead you to C:\ProgramData\Notepad++\plugins) create a new folder called SpeechPlugin copy SpeechPlugin.dll into this folder restart notepad++ (if it was running at that point)

your question is not npp community related but
anyone can change ip address with psiphon.exe

at the download page 7.6.2 is presented as something unusual from the other downloads “Yellow Vest Edition” whatever that means.

like one earlier “a message from outer space”

I thought such downloads are not having any changes just placemarker releases, so I thought I can skip them.

“plugin manager” is an external plugin application and not part of the official notepad++ release, and it is not compatible with 7.6.0 and above as it uses the old folder structures.
you will have to report all plugin manager related issues here: https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager

but i recommend to update to 7.6.2 from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.6.2.html
which contains the newest official “plugins admin” as seen in the screenshot below, and use it instead of “plugin manager”.

note: there are still a few plugins missing in plugins admin, but they will probably be added as soon as they have been adapted to the new folder structures and submitted to the official plugins list.
