Apart from using Windows 10, your setup is similar to mine.
Let me check the source code to see what it does under the hood.

@Ekopalypse

According to here it sends an WDN_NOTIF and in big switch it checks and saves the document.

You do have the file selected, don’t you?

Dennis64x

@Ekopalypse Yes, file is selected

Ekopalypse

Before

after pressing save

Dennis64x

@Ekopalypse Hmm, I’ll try with different tabs and report back

Dennis64x

@Ekopalypse I tried “Activate”, “Close window(s)” and “Sort tabs” buttons. They’re working fine. But in “Save” button there is no response or any file activity.

@Dennis64x

Can you give it a try with a fresh portable from here?
Just unzip it to where ever you want. Close the old instances and run the portable one.

Dennis64x

@Ekopalypse It worked with fresh portable build. I was using default NPP portable it tough but I think it’s because some of 32bit or 64bit addons.

Ekopalypse

@Dennis64x except for the explorer plugin all others you use are standard.
And I assume that a 32bit plugin will not be loaded from a 64bit npp.

@Ekopalypse

you can try to temporarily rename your plugins directory and see if it
works with the primary installation.

Dennis64x

@Ekopalypse Oh, I did what you said. You’re right, the problem is the plugin. When I changed the name of the plugin folder, the “Save” button works
Thanks a lot!

@Dennis64x
Now the question is which plugin is causing this. It must be explorer plugin but I use this as well. How did you install this plugin? Via plugin admin?

Dennis64x

@Ekopalypse No, I didn’t use the “Plugin Admin” because the default plugin was not available for 64bit NPP so I searched for an alternative. I found this https://github.com/oviradoi/npp-explorer-plugin, then installed manually.

@Dennis64x

according to plugin admin this is the same I use

File browser. You can open whatever you want from it in Notepad++, just double click!
