      I had the latest plugin manager installed and was getting these errors.

      I found that I had to select the installed plugins tab, check the plugin manager, and choose the re-install option. That solved the gpup failures.

        gpup is part of the pluginmanager. Manually installing https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases/tag/v1.4.3 to avoid the automatic update might help. @donho please consider to package this version with your next release @bruderstein Do you agree Dave?

          The only solution that worked for me was deleting “C:\Users\Zaggi\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++”.

          (Except that on my computer I obviously replaced the word Zaggi with my own user name).

            I am also facing the same Problem. the only way to fix this is go to Plug in manager-> updates tab->uncheck the list in the box->click update button
            Thats all its Working :>)

              Okay. Individually, the above suggestions did not help in my case. My Notepad++ was stuck in an infinite loop of “There are still some pending actions to complete installing or removing some plugins” > “Plugin Update: Deleting…” > Gpup.exe crash

              But a combination solved it!

              FYI my environment is Windows x64 and I have the Npp++ x32 installed because the x64 version does not support many plugins yet.

              So the clean way to resolve this for me was:

              1. make sure Notepad++ is not running:

              • Exit Notepad++ if you have it open.
              • To be sure, use the Windows Task Manager (ctrl-shift-ESC) to control that there is no process called npp.exe. If there is one, terminate the process.

              2. Install the latest Plugin Manager from GitHub:

              • Go to your Notepad++ program folder (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++)
              • In the “updater” subfolder, delete gpup.exe.
              • In the “plugins” subfolder, delete “PluginManager.dll”
              • Download the latest version from GitHub: https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases
              • unzip it, move the gpup.exe into the “updater” subfolder of your Notepad++ program folder and the dll into the “plugins” subfolder.

              3. Delete PluginManager’s update task list:
              (because it’s probably not compatible with the latest Plugin Manager you just installed)

              • Delete the following file:
                %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins\Config\PluginManagerGpup.xml

              Deleting this file will also result in the cleanup of the “plugin_install_temp” directory upon the next startup of the application.

              FYI, in my case %APPDATA% is C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\

              That’s it!

                I read the solution here, I just reinstalled the plugin manager, I accepted the gpub.exe, and it worked. All the plugins that had selected were installed.

                  See https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/issues/45, consider to be fixed with PM version v1.4.9.

                    This is the only thing that got it to work for me. Thank you!

                      You Sir, saved my day! Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I too was stuck in a loop. This was the only solution that worked.

                      Thanks!

                          @Danny-Schwendener I’d add that in your case, (and mine) you download the UNI and not the x64 version.

                            Hi All I have the same problem and I solve it
                            when you download the latest pluginmanager you will get two folders

                            1. plugins
                            2. updater

                            same folders exist in Notepad++ folder in programfiles copy pluginmanger from plugins
                            folder to plugins folder in notepad++ and copy gpup.exe from updater to updater folder in notepad++ folder

                            thats it
