I’m using notepad++ x64 v7.2.2 on windows 7 ultimate x64, i cannot make notepad++ the default application for any files

In Windows 10 when I click the right mouse button on any folder in the file explorer, there´s no item to create a new .txt file with Notepad++ in the contextual menu (Option New). Is it possible to add this item to the contextual menu options?

Is there a reason why the 7.2.2 NP++ comes installed with Plugin Manager 1.3.5 while the latest version seems to be 1.4.3?

Check the release note:

Hi
Just updated to 7.2.2 and it seems I can’t see my network drives anymore. I have tried 64bit and 32bit but not able to open files on network drive.
Notepad++ v7.2.2 (64-bit)
Build time : Nov 27 2016 - 16:35:52
Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Admin mode : ON
Local Conf mode : OFF
OS : Windows 10
Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll
Is this a known bug and can this be solved ASAP?
Regards
Sasja

@donho I’m running the v7.2.2 (32-bit) version of NP++ and the changelog of this version says:

Included plugins:

1. NppExport v0.2.8 (32-bit x86 only)
2. Plugin Manager 1.3.5 (32-bit x86 only)
3. Converter 4.2
4. Mime Tool 2.1

But when I use ‘Show Plugin Manager’ it still wants to update to version 1.4.3 of the Plugin Manager so I still don’t understand why version 1.4.3 isn’t included? After updating the Plugin Manager it is now 1.4.3.

After upgrading to x64 version (during install it asked if I wanted to first uninstall x86 and I said yes), Windows 10 keeps asking what program I want to use to open .txt files.
I am the only user on the system and cannot set NP++ (x64) as default anymore.
Control Panel to change by extension doesn’t register, and changing by program doesn’t even show NP++ anywhere.
I have not rebooted since I installed the latest version. Last version I used that worked normally was 7.2.0.

I just updated to 7.2.2 on my Win10 64bit AMD PC. The first thing I noticed is that now when I open a Notepad++ associated file with a double-click when Notepad++ is open but minimized, Notepad++ will not “popup”. But when I manually pop up Notepad++, the file I double-clicked is open. This has quickly become an annoyance since I do this a lot and now I have to always pop up Notepad++ manually.

@donho 7.2.2 does not help to fix the 7.2 related “pending Actions bug”, still getting “gpup does not work anymore <Debug> <Close>”.
If I click on debug, it says “An unhandled win32 exception occured in gpup.exe [5356]” Visual Studio then tells: “Unhandled exception at 0x011E1E45 in gpup.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.”.

I’m having the same problems on 7.2.1 and 7.2.2. No updates available to Plugin manager 1.4.?. (Windows 8.1 Pro 32-bit)
So went back to 6.9, but still getting above problem with GPUP 1.3.5.0 , so went into Plugin Manager and this time on the Updates tab, I was able to update plugin manager to 1.4.3.0. Notepad++ is now working with v6.9 and Plugin Manager 1.4.3.0.
Dare I update to 7.2.2??

@sroe @Mike-Bussey242
Try to uninstall everything and do a fresh install.
Or chek in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\updater files gpup.exe and GUP.exe. You must have thoses files : https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/tree/master/PowerEditor/bin/updater

[Mike Bussey242]

@cmeriaux I have those files thank you. I would like to get to v7.2.2, but don’t have the time to keep installing and uninstalling. It works at the mo, so I’ll stick with that until I have time to mess about. This is the first time I have had a serious issue with NPP and I have been using it forever.

[sroe]

@cmeriaux that’s what I have done, I checked that the Folders are empty, and they were, so it should be gpup.exe from the installer, which is crashing on my System. As @Mike-Bussey242 wrote, in 6.9 everything is working fine.

[Mike Bussey242]

@sroe
I took the risk and re-installed NPP v7.2.2 (overwriting v6.9) which worked with Plugin Manager 1.3.5.0.
Then upgraded P.M. to 1.4.3.0 and everything (at the moment) is back to working OK again.

Notepad++ 32 bit running on Windows 10 x64.
4k screen with scaling at 250%

Doc Switcher Extension Column is too narrow. After every attempt at resizing, each time I minimize and maximize it returns to being too narrow again.

[Sand Man]

Only issue I’ve seen thus far is that I don’t see a “Use Old Icon” option anymore. :(
(Though this is probably some old change that I’ve only just noticed…)

A scan of the download file for version 7.2.2 using the VirusTotal website shows that Locky Ransomware is in the executable.

Can the download be blocked and this issue investigated?

Thanks

[Claudia Frank]

@Samuel-Apperson

In such a case could you provide more details?
From which site did you download?
What kind of package did you download (exe,zip)?
Was it reported by one virus engine or multiple.
Do you know that something like a false positive exists?

Cheers
Claudia
