    8.12 most of the interface no longer works, can't open preferences, find, change EOL... I click them and nothing happens. My portable version still works fine. Windows ver. 21H1. Tried reinstalling with no success.

        Does the same happen if you install v8.1.3 release candidate 3

            What about portable 8.1.3-RC3?

            Because if the portable works but the installed version doesn’t, it’s most likely one of your settings or plugins that’s been corrupted.

            For the installed version,

            • you can disable plugins by running with -noPlugin command-line option
            • you can try to reset your settings (temporarily) by exiting Notepad++ completely, going to %AppData% folder and renaming Notepad++ folder to something else (maybe Notepad++.bak; the next time you run Notepad++, it should generate “fresh” settings in a new %AppData%\Notepad++ folder. If the fresh settings work but the old settings don’t, you might have to compare the settings, or slowly regenerate the settings manually.

            –
            PS: before updating, or before trying any of these experiments, make sure you save any open files
