<![CDATA[Notepad++ conflicting w/ windows 10: KB3147458]]>Noticed this just today. I’m running windows 10/x64 Pro. I had some windows update installed earlier in the day. I happened to notice afterwards that Notepad++ (6.9.1) was crashing consistently on launch. I tried installing a few older versions of Notepad++ and they too were crashing. Finally I tried rolling back KB3147458 and after reboot I found that notepad++ was launching/working ok again.

Here’s some info my specific windows version: Version: 1511, OS Build: 10586.218

…an example app crash looks like:
Process File : notepad++.exe
Event Name : Stopped working
Event Time : 4/14/2016 1:12:48 PM
User Name : All Users
Exception Code : 0xe06d7363
Exception Offset : 0x000bdad8
Fault Module Name : KERNELBASE.dll
Fault Module Version: 10.0.10586.162
Process Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe

The question I would have is why is notepad++ conflicting w/ this particular windows update.

Thanks

Problem exists in the same way for a 2nd user.

I just tried a stock install of webedit and launched notepad++ (w/ the KB update in place). NPP crashed as described before. So in answer to your question, no special setting of webedit was required for me to see the issue.

Your windows 10 OS/build version match what I have. Again, I’m using windows 10 pro.

I’m not familiar with this plugin.

And certainly I can’t comment on why you can’t reproduce this issue using the same plug-ins (w/ presumably same versions) and I’m using. But nevertheless, I -can- reproduce this issue consistently.

To further isolate this issue, I tried selectively re-installing my user plug-ins (starting from just the base set that installs by default w/ NPP). I found that WebEdit (v2.1) is introducing the issue (but none of the other user plugins). Once WebEdit was removed from my NPP install, the problem disappeared.

No problem with my windows 10 configuration.

Note, I also tested without having PythonScript.dll installed.

But perhaps instead it might be a problem w/ 1 of the NPP plug-ins I’m using (which I’m assuming is differently than what you tested with).

In addition, it seems that this w10 update didn’t work well for others as well.

Windows 10 was “nice enough” to reinstall this KB and sure enough after rebooting NP stopped working again (as described above). And also sure enough after uninstalling this very patch and rebooting, NP started working again. So definitely repeatable for me.

Also, here’s my NP debug info:
