Notepad++ rolling back to older version at every restart
-
Hi all, I have a problem with my Notepad++.
I have a Windows10 laptop I got from my Institution, and my Notepad++ keeps rolling back to v. 7.9.1 everytime I restart the system, even after a clean installation of the latest version.
Any idea why?

Two ideas:
- Your institution installed in location X, but you installed to location Y, so when you reboot and start Notepad++, you are running the location-X version rather than your location-Y version. To prove this:
- after doing your installation, look at ?-menu Debug Info and note the path
- after your reboot and running Notepad++, look at the same info. Are they the same or different?
- Your institution force-installs the v7.9.1 after you installed “the latest” (whichever version that is.)
- the same substeps from #1.1-2 would work here for helping to see if the version is changing but running from same location.
