Log startup of notepad

[Παύλος Γκέσος]

I am trying to find where Notepad++ stores its log file.
If no log file by default, how can I enable it.

The reason is periodic hang of Notepad++ on startup.
I double click on a text file and then only the window frame (not window content) appears.
The only solution is to kill the process.
I use Windows 7 x64.

So, I want the log to understand where is the problem (probably a plugin?) and provide a better report to bug tracking system.

I didn’t know there was such a log file.

(probably a plugin?)

Suggestion: Remove all plugins except maybe the ones that come with N++, then add them back in one at a time until you have a failure. Of course, it is possible you won’t get a failure from this.

Seems that SysInternals Process Explorer does the trick.
This is thread’s call stack:
Clearly the DSpellCheck is the evil. I disable it and there is no hangs until now.
