No need to panic!
None of the files you wrote are gone. NPP is a program to view files, it stores them to your selected location.
Reinstalling NPP will be your fix.

Is it possible that a Windows update removed NPP?
Some Windows 10 updates did that for some reason at one time.

Thank you Claudia
That is exactly what I was looking for
Happy new year

Yeh I came to the same conclusion

@Richard-Carignan

No ideas possible–that’s how it is supposed to work. :-)

This is probably due to the bundled DSpellChecker since N++ 7.5.2.
So either install additional languages or disable the automatic speller check if not needed with the ABC icon of the plugins menu.

@Claudia-Frank Thank you for the prompt response.

@Christopher-Lewis

has been reported that DSpellCheck is the culprit, Plugin needs to be updated to a newer version.

thx. the manual maintain is the issue with Projects.

Long time user of Notepad++, but neither the Project or Folder as Workspace satisfy my requirements.
They both lack some features to make them usable. (and i want to use them).

@Peter-Morris

Looks strange, indeed, did a previous version work for you or is this the first npp version you used?
What kind of setup do you use? Meaning, which operating system, which graphics card what
kind of monitor(s) in which resolution etc …

64bit version is available, see https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases/download/v1.4.9/PluginManager_v1.4.9_x64.zip

By the way, why can’t you just use default numbering from 1?
For example you have a file :
(1) A+B
(2) goto 1

And then just use a script to save the file with appended line:
(0) ; empty line
(1) A + B
(2) goto 1

Or just pass the the compiler the file with appended “'\r\n” in the beginning.
Or am I missing something?

@Scott-Sumner

…and an additional complication is that it is not easy to get text with line-endings in it (such as you might try to do with a copy-and-paste operation) into the Replace-with zone.

@musicpanda

why do you think this is an issue - just tested on Win10 Pro OS Build 10586.1176 is is working for me.
