Known issue . It will be fixed in the next release . Download v8.3.1 Release Candidate instead.

I have not been able to load NP++ since 8.2.1. I am using a portable version under Win 10 x64. It will almost load showing white window then crash. In task manager It seems to start twice. Same behavior if I right click and “open” the executable

Run from the command line with -noPlugin option and when it (most likely) works, you’ll need to re-enable your plugins 1-by-1 to find which one is causing the issue. You can do this by moving all the plugins out of the Notepad++\plugins directory and then putting them back one by one and closing / launching Notepad++ each time you add a new one.

Alternatively, paste your ?=>Debug Info… menu item output here (which you probably should have done) and we may be able to identify the faulty plugin.

Cheers.
