Cannot Update Plugins
-
NPP 64 bit v8.9.6.4
Win11I have multiple plugin updates available in Plugins Admin but when I select them and select Update, NPP closes but no updates or re-launch takes place.

I am sorry no one replied yet.
Usually when that happens, it means that either
gup.exeornppPluginList.dll(in subdirectories of your Notepad++ installation folder) still have the “mark of the web”.To check (and clear) the “mark of the web”, exit Notepad++; right click on the exe or dll file; select Properties; in the General properties tab, if there is a message at the bottom with “unblock”, checkmark that checkbox, and click OK. Do that for either/both files. After that, the plugins should be able to update from Plugins Admin again.

This usually happens when Windows blocks one of the files needed for the plugin update. Try right-clicking gup.exe and nppPluginList.dll, opening Properties, and checking for an Unblock option at the bottom of the General tab. Hopefully that fixes it without needing to reinstall Notepad++!
