      Notepad++ v7.8.7 (32-bit)
      Build time : Jun 5 2020 - 02:34:28
      Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
      Admin mode : OFF
      Local Conf mode : OFF
      OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit)
      OS Version : 2004
      OS Build : 19041.508
      Current ANSI codepage : 1252
      Plugins : DSpellCheck.dll mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll

      Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.508] (Windows 10 Pro, build 2004, 64bit)

      issue:
      Notepad++ > Settings > Preferences > Default Directory > Follow Current Document
      None of the settings will make Notepad++ directory follow the current document.
      Directory is always the last one used. Restarting Notepad++ has no effect.

        Apparently this setting is causing others before similar issues.

        I don’t have the answer but if you search through this forum using the 2 words Default directory you will find several posts. Hopefully one might help you.

          I’ve always found this choice to be the most reliable and (thus luckily) the one that makes the most sense to want to use.

          Maybe there is a “disconnect” about how you think this is supposed to work? Maybe walk us through an example? Otherwise, I think it is working fine for the vast majority of users, so I don’t think there’s anything else anyone can do to help.
