Notepad++ v7.9.3 won't start with the "Save As Admin" Plugin installed.

Raymond Forbes

I was running 7.9.1 and notepad++ worked fine. Now that I’ve upgraded to 7.9.3 it won’t load. If I remove the “Save As Admin” Plugin, NPP works fine. If I reinstall the plugin, NPP won’t start. Version of plugin is 1.0.195.0, problem did not happen with 1.0.193

@Raymond-Forbes

Do you have SaveAsAdmin plugin?

For running 7.9.3 you need the older version v1.0.195 to remove it.

1.0.211
@Hsilgos Hsilgos released this 21 days ago

Removed "Save As..." feature and fixed crash.

Just released the version 1.0.211
Download manually from from https://github.com/Hsilgos/nppsaveasadmin/releases

Unzip the new version
put these files to folder C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\NppSaveAsAdmin and get overwriten (if UAC appears select “YES” to confirm that).
And should works fine with Notepad++ 7.93 with NppSaveAsAdmin v1.0.211.
