Suddenly asking me to save on exit

Scott Edwards

Howdy everyone, hoping someone can help me out with a new behavior NPP is exhibiting.

I haven’t changed anything on my NPP. It’s suddenly asking me if I want to save unsaved files when I exit it. If I say “no”, the changes are gone when I open NPP again. Usually, the behavior is:

Edit currently open file, or create new file
Don’t hit save
Close NPP, no warning dialog
Open NPP - unsaved changes are still there

How do I revert back to this previous behavior? I’ve learnt to rely on it and will be very sad if I can’t get it back.

PS: my setting for “Remember current session for next launch” it set to true, and I am on NPP V7.5.4.

PPS: my Windows 10 updated today, could this be the root cause?

Thanks!

You say you have ☑ Remember current session for next launch enabled … but is ☐ Enable session snapshot and periodic backup enabled or disabled? When I have that second option enabled ☑, I get your desired behavior; when I have it disabled ☐, I get your “new behavior” of it asking whether I want to save.

That fixed it, thanks!!
