      Hello!
      Using and loving N++ for about a decade, but now a got a small annoying problem.

      I always got (quiet) a few unsaved notes in N++.
      When closing N++ normally, it’s all fine [no filesave but they are there next time I open - as deafult], but when I have N++ open when shutting down Win10 [okay, maybe not recommended], it once suprisingly asked me to save files and my mistake was to hit something like a “ask every time” option. And ever since, when not closing N++ before Windows, Windows does not shut down and I get 80 “save prompts” in a row and it seems there is no way to abort it other than to kill N++ the hard way.

      You got any hint how I get the old N++ behaviour back?

      Thank you!
      Tim

        @timwessels ,

        The “Ask every time” setting is stored in Settings > Preferences > Misc > Enable Save All confirm dialog

        The shutdown issue is a known issue with v8.4.7, which should be fixed in v8.4.8.

        see also HERE and elsewhere in forum
