I ran the update when prompted, but after the update Notepad++ doesn’t open at all. It worked fine before updating, though. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue.
Well, it updated and started fine for me (W10 21H2 x64 Intel.) Perhaps some info about your system might help narrow it down.

What was your Notepad++ version?
If you re-install the old version, could you provide the debug info (via menu?->Debug Info...? -
@Sami-Jo-Ross
Or you can, if you have plugins installed, remove them and see if your Notepad++ v8.4.8 can be launched.
If the problem is due to plugin, please add back one by one to find the culprit, and report it here. -

There’s an error in localization\german.xml.
For a quick fix open german.xml and replace all CMID with CMDIDThanks for that hint; I just wanted to post this error and found your solution - works perfect, thanks!

Installing silently using the /S switch is not installing the Plugins Admin. Installing manually does install the Plugins Admin.
Can this be corrected?
Also, please advise if there is a different method for silently installing Notepad++.

@Alan-Kilborn The Plugins Admin was installed with previous versions, so this should not be a feature request.

Ah, OK, bug report then. Same FAQ link on how to do that.

“previous versions” is vague.
Could you precise in which version Plugins Admin is installed with /S ? -
After upgrading to this version, all my open documents (saved and un saved) disappeared from the Document List!!!
After upgrading the Notepad++ opened in a total white state, only menus appearing and on closing it crashed with an error about an existing plugin, ElaticTabStops (a great plugin btw which since some npp versions ago was broken by it).
After deleting the plugin’s folder, NPP opened with just 2 documents in the Document List!!! -
Why the update overwritten the session.xml with an empty one ?!?!?!?! (less the hosts and changelog files)
I guess I’m F* * *D now!!! F********************K -

Could you provide the old version number of Notepad++ ? -
@donho Is NPP supporting this kind of info? I don’t know/see any logs where i could find this. I don’t keep notes on every NPP upgrade :)
-
@donho I get frequent error popups on exit now saying “Closing file wasn’t registered” for each open file. And each document starts to disappear from the list.
I reopen NPP and all documents are there still, and on exit again same errors. Downgraded to 8.4.7 and the same
I will try to uninstall everything and see after. -

Traced the issue to ElasticTabStops plugin.

@Bogdan-Voaidas
I have installed ElasticTabStops v1.50 and got the messages on unsaved files. However, all my unsaved files are kept - it seems to me an issue of ElasticTabStops, but not Notepad++'s one. -

For a quick fix open german.xml and replace all CMID with CMDIDAgain, thanks a lot for that, works perfect! But, as I had to do it on another machine again: One little hint is missing: After the replace, the language has to become switched one time in the settings. Maybe you could/should mention this in your post also.
