non-saved docs are lost if reopen as administrator
-
when editing and saving system32/drivers/etc/hosts,
notepad++ ask me to reopen as administer, after I click yes.
notepadd++ reopen as administrator,but all the other tabs are closed and all non-saved docs are lost!

Good workaround:
Avoid by saying “no” when it asks you to reopen as admin.Even better workaround:
Edit your “system32/drivers/etc/hosts” in a separate instance of Notepad++. -
