      Did you try to start npp from the shortcut or by double clicking exe file
      or by using context menu in explorer view? Or something different?
      Did you check windows event log?

      Cheers

        Thank you for the reply.

        Sorry, I should have included the Windows Event log earlier.
        These were started by direct exe clicking:

          Does not give any additional info, unfortunately.
          Did you try to start as normal user and using “run as administrator”?
          Behave both the same?

          The error 0xc0000005 itself points to accessing memory location which isn’t
          allowed as owned by other application, system …

          You did install the 32bit version did you? Btw. what version is Win 7N Pro x86?

          Have you tried to deinstall, clean directory, reboot and install it again?

          Cheers
          Claudia

            Running as administrator. User has admin rights also.
            Using the 7z x86 (32-bit) version.
            Installed to different drive, new folder.

            I appreciate the help and recognize that this is something on my side that needs to be resolved, BUT since all previous versions and updates prior to today ran w/o a problem, and I haven’t added any apps or hardware recently; there must be some implementation of the code which is different for this update. Memory resources haven’t changed.

            Also, Win 7N (also true for 10N) is a European version (running for several years) that comes w/o IE and the windows media player apps. It was produced after MS was sued by European Union interests to separate out those functions which are normally deeply integrated into the OS.

              can you double check the size of the exe and scintilla dll

              2599088 Nov 27 01:36 notepad++.exe
              1052848 Nov 27 01:36 SciLexer.dll

              Note, I’m using the zip version but the sizes must be the same.

              Thx, for clarification - wasn’t aware of it although I live in Europe.

              Cheers

                Everything seems to check.

                notepad++.exe -> (2,599,088 bytes)

                SciLexer.dll -> (1,052,848 bytes)

                Again, it has to be in the code itself. Since the developer would probably have to partially reverse whatever changes were made, one-by-one, I will have to make this an EOL for me.At some point, I will re-install the OS, but for the moment, since everything else is functioning, I will postpone that.

                Thank you so much for your time.

                  if you don’t mind one final suggestion.
                  Download procmon from sysinternals.

                  Run it and create a filter process name is notepad++.exe
                  Apply it

                  In main procmon gui press the icon which is named something like
                  process and threads (one of the last ones)

                  Start npp

                  Now you should see some infos coming in - are there any useful informations
                  which could indicate what your problem is?

                  Cheers

                    I certainly don’t mind any suggestions.
                    So, I ran procmon with the notepad++.exe filter for both the 7.5.2 version and the 7.5.1 version. Since the 7.5.1 version works, it has a much longer output log. There is a lot to go through and it will take me a good long time to see if I can make anything out of it, but I do have a preliminary catch.

                    I am comparing the two outs and the first instance of a difference seems to be a Load Image operation. This particular operation occurs with v7.5.2. The path is:

                    “…\Windows\System32\api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll”

                    The result for the operation says Success. Not sure why v7.5.1 did not have this operation at the same process location. The api-ms-win-core-synch-l1-2-0.dll type files are part of the VC++ 20xx redistributables.

                    Note: I ran the exe with four of the filter options, including Registry, File System Activity, Process and Threads, and Network (though I’m not on a LAN).

                    Thank you for the suggestion Claudia.

                      as npp doesn’t show up I assume it crashes during image load. Don’t you see any error there?
                      A success means it was able to load it, so it can’t be the reason for the issue you encountered.

                      Cheers

                        OK, I isolated just the file system activity. The VC++ dll operations, even though they show success in loading, are only present in the latest, v7.5.2 version - and, calling them is the last step prior to failure to error reporting.

                          What are the actions (File, Process and Registry) just before

                          J:\Windows\system32\WerFault.exe

                          as this is the time when windows jumps in to collect information to report the issue.
                          Any errors just before this call?

                          Cheers

                            This includes Registry calls and File System activity leading up to WerFault.exe. Some repetitive registry keys may not be shown. The v7.5.1 is shown in the same spot for comparison.

                            There are definite differences, omissions, and additions to the two groups of apps with both file and registry processes.

                              sorry, unfortunately nothing which makes me think this could be the problem.
                              Btw. the tests were done with clean npp setup, means no additional plugins used, correct?

                              Cheers
