Re: Notepad++ v8.4.2 release
I updated with the latest version notepad++ and it was not opening now.
I have plugin installed in my notepad++.
I am getting error that “An exception occurred due to plugin: nppAutoDetectIndent.dll”
Exception reason: Access violation.

Please someone fix this issue. This error has stopped my notepad and it’s not opening.

If you disable the nppAutoDetectIndent plugin (rename the folder that the DLL is in… probably c:\program files\notepad++\plugins\nppAutoDetectIndent\) and re-run Notepad++, does it work?

if so, the bug is in nppAutoDetectIndent. Check to see if there’s a newer version to install. If not, create an issue with the developer of that plugin to let them know that their plugin is not compatible with Notepad++ v8.4.2, and they will have to do the fix.

Please someone fix this issue.

There is nothing that the Community of Notepad++ users (which is who this forum is made of) can do to fix this for you. You will have to find the issues location for that specific plugin.
