      I cannot associate .TXT files with NotePad++ 64bit on my Win10 Pro 64bit desktop.

      EditPad Pro 8 has no such problem, using it for .TXT files now.

      So why doesn’t NotePad++ allow associations in Win10?
      This needs to be fixed.

        @ed-redondo ,

        My Notepad++ v8.4.2 64bit works just fine for file association in Windows 10.

        You might want to check out the user manual

          Found out I had to run NotePad++ as administrator.
          Now all file associations work.

          My bad.
