Every time I retrieve a saved file, it’s got exactly the content that was there when I last saved it.

Sorry, you haven’t given us much to go on to try to diagnose or help you fix your problem.

Please supply

  • ?-menu, Debug Info
  • Where are you saving the file(s)? local HDD? local SSD? local USB drive? remote network drive?
  • What does “corrupted” mean, to you? Are just a couple characters wrong? Or is the file empty? Or does it show up as a bunch of strange characters that you don’t recognize anything from?
  • Is there any other application trying to access your files at the same time you’re loading them in Notepad++? Or that accesses those files between when you saved it in Notepad++ and when you next tried to open the files in Notepad++?
  • Is there any other information that might help us help you?
