      (1) I cannot find options to change where NPP opens.
      On my 3840* 2160 screen NPP always opens partly off the top right of my screen.
      How do I change the setting to somewhere more sensible?

      (2) Before I close NPP I close all files. Yet on opening it always opens the same file very old file - how do I fix this setting?

        welcome to the notepad++ community, @Robin-Lamacraft

        did you by any chance install the unofficial 3rd party notepad++ release from the microsoft store ?
        please go to the notepad++ menu ? > debug info... > copy debug info into clipboard and paste it here.

        the unofficial release is known to have bugs, not remembering things like settings, last window position, etc.

          I was unknowingly using a very out of date 32bit version.
          Problem resolved by downloading and installing

          Notepad++ v7.6.6 (64-bit)
          Build time : Apr 3 2019 - 23:52:32
          Path : C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
          Admin mode : OFF
          Local Conf mode : OFF
          OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
          Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll
