      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

        Hello @Don-Mason,

        just finished updating my win10/x64 Pro to the mentioned build version.
        KB3147458 is installed.

        Npp started - works - no issue yet.

        My notepad++ debug info (available under ? menu)

        Notepad++ v6.9.1
        Build time : Mar 28 2016 - 19:48:40
        Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
        Admin mode : OFF
        Local Conf mode : OFF
        OS : Windows 10
        Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll PluginManager.dll PythonScript.dll

        Cheers
        Claudia

          Understood - but nevertheless this problem definitely exists for me. 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:

          Notepad++ v6.9.1
          Build time : Mar 28 2016 - 19:48:40
          Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
          Admin mode : OFF
          Local Conf mode : OFF
          OS : Windows 10
          Plugins : HTMLTag_unicode.dll JSLintNpp.dll JSMinNPP.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll PluginManager.dll PoorMansTSqlFormatterNppPlugin.dll Tidy2.dll WebEditU.dll XMLTools.dll

            As I, and maybe others as well, don’t have an issue I don’t think it can be a general npp problem.
            In addition, it seems that this w10 update didn’t work well for others as well.

              I agree it might not be a NPP problem. 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).

              Regards,

                Actually after writing the answer I thought the same and installed your plugins.
                No problem with my windows 10 configuration.

                Notepad++ v6.9.1
                Build time : Mar 28 2016 - 19:48:40
                Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
                Admin mode : OFF
                Local Conf mode : OFF
                OS : Windows 10
                Plugins : HTMLTag_unicode.dll JSLintNpp.dll JSMinNPP.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll PluginManager.dll PoorMansTSqlFormatterNppPlugin.dll PythonScript.dll Tidy2.dll WebEditU.dll XMLTools.dll

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

                  Interesting. 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.

                  Regards,

                    Is there a special setting for WebEdit you use? I’m not familiar with this plugin.

                    Cheers

                        Good question. 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.

                        Regards,

                          Can you give it a try to create another user on this w10, login and start npp?

                          Cheers

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