Notepad++ 7.7 Release
-
Another thing that’s still not solved after 3 years is that my Notepad++ need something like 10 seconds and more, to open …
Can you point me to the issue you’d reported? Hoping that there is more info than just
it takes …It has been discussed here …
if you have an old version, then it makes sense to try a newer version to see if the issue is gone or not. Most of the time it is recommended to use the portable version instead of upgrading an installed one, which, from my point of view, makes absolutely sense. Don’t you agree?

I’ll agree with you al the way since you’ve replied. But “sometimes” it’s better to stay with an old version. There’s this verb: don’t touch a running system (aside from the time lag of 10 sec’s before it opened). Now my old version before upgrading to this v7.7 that simply doesn’t open and always keeps asking me “**.txt file is modified by another program, and do you want to reload it and loose the changes that have been made in Notepad++*” was v7.5.6.
Now come to think of it: like I said after I installed v7.7 I got this repeating bug

I then looked for a restore point of some hours ago and applied it. The bug was still there so I also could not see if I reverted to the old v7.5. I assumed that the program did not revert to v7.5 since the bug was still there (FYI that bug was not present b4 my upgrade (v7.5 > v7.7).To my big surprise I just checked the notepad executable (details from *.exe) in my W7 program files (x86) folder and it is v7.56. So with the restore point I effectively reverted to the old v7.5 but I got the bugs that came along with v7.7 as a present.
The thing of the time delay will have to wait a while. First I’d like this v7.7 to work for me. Will completely uninstalling it remove my settings ? And why is it still installed in the program files folder (x86) ?
Thank you in advance.

what about giving one of the portable versions a chance?
Like this 64bit one.I can’t see your uploaded images - I always get barely dressed women.
Whether an uninstall will remove your settings depends on how you installed/used it before, hard to say.
You can check if you have an %appdata%\notepad++ directory and, if so, temporarily rename it. Afterwards try to start npp and see what happens.
If this doesn’t work either then I assume that you used a local configuration which then would be wiped (afaik ). -
Before I read your message I did the following: I found the v7.7 file for x64 and installed it. The program asked me to remove the old v7.5.6 that was in my x86 program files folder. I continued and the program uninstalled the v7.5.6 from my x86 folder (except for one dll file it was empty after I checked it.)
v7.7 is installed and of course I get the same repeating error I had when it was installed in my program files x86 folder… I will remove it completely and install the portable … to be continued.
The barely dressed woman are on that server but not by clicking my links.
