I would like to know if Notepad++ 6.7 and Notepad++ 6.4 will function on WS2008 R2 or WS 2012 R2

Hello @Pushkar-Deshmukh,

as npp is a native win32 application it will work on the windows servers but if you are thinking
about terminal services it might be that you need to tweak to make everything working. The same may
apply to plugins.

I have installed Notepad++ v.6.9 on Windows Server 2012 R2, and we have multiple users connecting to the server through RDS and running Notepad++ simultaneously. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it crashes. Is it possible due to incompatibility with Windows Server 2012 or with RDS? How stable is Noteapd++ V.6.9; should I install v.6.7?

Hello @pranami-desai,

it is nearly impossible to answer this question as we don’t know what the users or adminsitrators did.
It might be related to plugins, quotas, concurrent access etc…
Espescially in terminal service environments you should have enough additional informations
to see what has caused the issue.
