      Thanks for the new version!

      The item 9 (“Apply the new file custom encoding (Unicode or not) while opening an empty content file”) works great on Windows 7 x64 with the Notepad++ v7.4 x86 version.

        Not him, but yes there is a connection on each startup that slows the program down with v7.4.

        Never had this happen with previous version, my settings have not changed and everything “connection related” ie. auto-update, cloud, etc. are checked off.

          Is this the right place to file a bug for v7.4 64-bit version? I ran into a problem:

          1: I create a new empty file in explorer.
          2: I open the file in np++ 7.4 and add some text.
          3: If I then try to save the file I get either:
          “Save failed
          The File cannot be saved and it may be protected.
          Do you want to launch Notepad++ in Administrator mode?”
          or:
          “Save failed
          Failed to save file.
          Not enough space on disk to save tile?”

          Running as admin does not make any difference.

          I found the cause for the error: when encoding is set to UTF-8 in the new documents settings this error occur. If I choose ANSI or UTF-8 with BOM, saving works (I have not tried all other encodings).

          This is on Windows 10 x64.

          Debug info:
          Notepad++ v7.4 (64-bit)
          Build time : May 14 2017 - 21:02:35
          Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
          Admin mode : OFF
          Local Conf mode : OFF
          OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
          Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll

          Regards
          Petter

            Which version of Windows do you use?
            It could be the checking of certificate chain (the root + intermediate authority).
            AFAIK, in a modern OS ( > Windows 7) the certificate chains are in the OS, however, they may not complete in the old OS, so WinTrust library check it online directely.

              @Petter-Österlund Seems to be similar to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/13820/weird-7-4-issue-unable-to-save-new-files

                @Petter-Österlund I can reproce it - it’ll be fixed in v7.4.1
                Thank you for the heads up.

                  Windows 10 Creators update, again though, going back to v7.3.3 does not do this, it’s only with version v7.4. So something changed with this version.

                    Seems I can’t edit my old post anymore, but I just wanted to let you know that I reinstalled v7.4 after going back to v7.3.3, and this connection does not happen anymore… I’m not sure what has changed. Weird either way.

                        Bah I spoke too soon, it did go away for a bit… but it seems on a PC reboot, the first launch of NP++, that connection makes my firewall pop up again, until I just give it an allow rule. kind of annoying for me since I like to keep a very tight, small amount of rules for my firewall.

                        I hope this can be worked around.

                          @ImSpecial So can you reproduce this issue steadily?

                            It seems so, it also seems to be tied to Windows Cached Certification Files, if these get cleared for whatever reason, a connection prompts.

                              @ImSpecial Please try this binary (x64 version, to replace the original one):

                                  I tried this and it does seem fixed… we’ll see if this comes back later though. Thank you for fixing this BTW!

                                      Please disable the online connection on startup!!
                                      I went back to 7.3.3 just because of that.

                                        I have a small problem with the new release v7.4 in Windows 10. I use it in a closed environment without internet connection.

                                        The startup in 7.4 takes about 10 seconds. I tried it with complete new install without plugins, the portable versions and x86 + x64. The startup time is always about 10 seconds…
                                        If I use the v7.3.3. it directly pops up without a second delay.

                                        Can someone confirm this behaviour? Is there a solution or a direction where to start?

                                            Yes ! Yippey!
                                            If I use the fixed ZIP it works like i used to know it. Perfect!

                                            Are you going to release a v7.4.1?
