    @Jeff-Esposito said in Notepad++ VERY slow to open: e gotten my new computer Notepad++ takes 40-50 seconds to launch. I have removed all plugins and don’t check recent file history at launch is checked. There are no open unsaved tabs, even though that is how I want to use it and use it on my old pc and my work laptop. the install It becomes slow when using “Show Folder As Workspace” (which displays the workspace folder on the left side). It starts quickly when this option is turned off.

    Yeah, this usually happens with non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) or other Unicode space characters that look invisible but behave differently from normal spaces. Using \xA0 in regex was the right fix 👍 If you face this again, you can: Use \x{00A0} or \s to detect space variants Check in hex editor to identify exact character Then replace all in one go Also, if you’re unsure which invisible character it is, you can test different ones using tools like espaço invisível before applying them in your editor.

    Honestly, this cleared up a big confusion for me. I used to think fonts were saved with the file itself, but it makes sense now that it’s just the editor displaying it differently. Also didn’t realize enabling global font overrides can mess with syntax highlighting—good catch. I’ve been tweaking text styles a lot lately while testing name formats on font generator, so this helps keep things consistent

    Hello, @peterjones and All, Peter, in one of your posts, that I cannot seem to find, you mentioned a new feature in Windows 11 Notepad that, by default, allows you to close the application, even if there are unsaved files, similar to Notepad++ Just in case you have not figured out, on your own, how to change this default behavior ( witch would really surprise me ! ), here is the method : Open Microsoft Notepad Click on the gear icon, on far right of the Menu bar Look for the line When Notepad starts Click on the arrow on the far right of this option Select the Start new session and discard unsaved changes option Close and re-start Notepad => The old Notepad behavior should be back with just an untitled tab when starting Microsoft Notepad ! Best Regards, guy038
