<p dir="auto">I don’t think it’s a regression, but it’s a bug for sure.<br />
Could you create an issue on Notepad++ GitHub issues tracker ?<br />

<p dir="auto">Maybe <em>Add download progress bar while download plugin(s).</em> should not be here because it’s the enhancement in WinGUp but not in Notepad++.<br />
I put it here because Notepad++ present the whole solution including the used components, and the most of people download the installer.</p>
