What pissed it off?

I was having the issue of Plugins Admin opening, letting me see the list, check boxes, and install, but NPP closing and not re-opening, and on manual restart nothing was loaded. I had to manually run the ‘/updater/GUP.exe’ updater program, and clear it with Windows UAC (Uncheck “Always ask this” in the window and click ‘Run’). Now the Plugins Admin installs, NPP restarts, and the plugin is added.

I have tested Notepad++ 7.8.9 32 bits version under Windows 10 64 bits, installing a plugin with PluginAdmin works fine for me (Notepad++ restarted as expected and plugin was installed).
The reason of GUP problem I can see is downloading failure, so could you provide me the name of plugin you want to install so I can reproduce the bug?

Is it only me - or the “Folder as Workspace” in Notepad++ 7.8.9 (32-bit) does not restore the last selected item in its TreeView correctly?
And I can see that the value of ‘latestSelectedItem’ is correct in the “config.xml” after Notepad++ exits. But then I restart Notepad++ and it does not select the item according to the ‘latestSelectedItem’ value.

Could you provide me the detail to reproduce the bug please?

I did a quick test and can confirm the reported behavior on Windows 7 Npp 7.8.9 x64
I close npp in this state.

and by restarting npp I see primes.cpp is not selected anymore.

But I don’t know whether it is expected to be selected or not.

I also saw this strange behaviour, but no one react. I don’t know if this remembering ever worked.
