      I just got a new computer and tried to install Notepad++ I get the message “This app can’t run on your PC” I’m trying to run npp.8.4.4.Installer.x64.exe.

      This is the windows version:
      Edition Windows 11 Pro
      Version 21H2
      Installed on ‎8/‎27/‎2022
      OS build 22000.856
      Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.856.0

      And the computer info:
      Device name Martins-Mini
      Processor Intel® Celeron® J4125 CPU @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
      Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable)
      Device ID C338EB1C-380C-4B70-9C50-0FB911B0FACD
      Product ID 00331-20020-00000-AA812
      System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
      Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

      Any Idea how to fix it?

        This doesn’t answer your question, but why not use the portable version?

          @Martin-Mortensen ,

          Where did you download the installer from? What is the exact file size? (I am wondering if you downloaded a corrupt file or from an invalid/unofficial distribution host, or whether you accidentally downloaded the HTML download page instead of the actual exe file)

          (I originally guessed ARM x64 vs INTEL x64, but your installer name seems to match your computer info)

            And I was wondering if possibly (given it’s a new PC) that Windows is running in S mode. If so, only apps from the Microsoft Store will install. However the error message (if what you gave is accurate) doesn’t appear to match what I thought it would say.

            However to check, read this Microsoft page.
