Are you in an IT-controlled environment that requires connecting to a proxy to connect to the internet? If so, then you (or someone from IT) will need to launch Notepad++ As Admin, and set ? > Set Updater Proxy to the right value. (127.0.0.1 is your localhost – ie your own computer – and it surprises me that it would be pointing to a proxy on your own machine)
With EOL regression, I better stay on 8.9.2.
The EOL mismatch often happens when copying and pasting between different apps and web pages. In this situation, the text editor must be a reliable tool of fixing all these mismatches.
For you, and anyone else, who needs to fix EOLs in the meantime, even with v8.9.3: regular expression FIND = \r\n|\r|\n REPLACE = \r\n Replace All will do what you want (and can be easily recorded as a macro)
