Hi all,

a user of mine has a problem with crashing notepad++ 7.8

Here is the eventlog error:

OS is Windows 7 64bit
What can be the problem here?

@Christoph-Eder said in Notepad++ 7.8 crashes:

MenuIcons.dll,

This plugin seems to be the problem, removing it might help.

@Ekopalypse said in Notepad++ 7.8 crashes:

MenuIcons.dll

And how can it be removed if the user can’t start the application?

@Christoph-Eder

Rename the DLL so that it doesn’t have a .dll extension.

Thank you. That helped.
