      Hi…

      Few minutes before I encountered NPP crashing while I was editing a file. And many other files were open in other windows. After the crash, NPP was forced closed and I had to restart NPP - to my shock the “the file being updated currently” - was truncated to size 0 KB…:(. Anyone helping me in letting me know - “how to use the crash dump file” to restore the file, I have lost - will be highly appreciated.

      The location of the dmp file is : C:\Users<My User Name>\AppData\Local\CrashDumps .
      Operating System Windows 7
      NPP version: 6.9.2

      Thanks…a lot for helping me out.

        did you check if the file is still in the backup directory of npp?

        Cheers
