      I’m guessing that GUP.exe and/or nppPluginList.dll somehow wasn’t updated before.

      Hi, at my employer, security measures are becoming always more strict, which I imagine is commonplace now with the NIS2 directive being more widely implemented (https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/nis2-directive).

      Therefore having plugins only being installable in the app installation directory is a nuisance. Installing the NPP app itself via Company Portal/InTune is provided for by my employer, but modifying the C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins is understandably blocked without admin access.

      Would it not be possible to allow (as a config choice) to install them in %APPDATA%\Notepad++ instead, or even do a virtual “merge” of plugins installed “locally” in AppData and in the application’s install directory?

      Same for user language definition files (and other “personalisation” of the app)
