    I went to the Plugin Admin window, checked off DSpellCheck, and clicked install. I then got a warning that I was going leave Notepad++ and click yes. Got the windows warning that I was going to do admin stuff. Accepted that and… Notepad++ opened up again and nothing changed. Looked at the plugins folder and it was just as it was before.

    Seems to be a bug of some sort. Version is 8.4.5 65bit.

    Anyone else have this problem?

        @Jack-Adrian-Zappa ,

        Are you sure, even with the UAC (elevated privileges) that you are able to write to the C:\Program Files\Notepad++\ directory hierarchy?

        I have a different Notepad++ version installed, so I couldn’t test with that. But I unzipped a portable v8.4.5 into C:\Program Files\dspellcheck\ and ran that. When I installed DSpellCheck 1.4.24 from Plugins Admin, it closed Notepad++, gave me the UAC-permissions dialog, then downloaded and installed the plugin, then restarted Notepad++. DSpellCheck is now in the Plugins menu

        Notepad++ v8.4.5   (64-bit)
        Build time : Sep  3 2022 - 04:05:32
        Path : C:\Program Files\dspellcheck\notepad++.exe
        Command Line : 
        Admin mode : OFF
        Local Conf mode : OFF
        Cloud Config : OFF
        OS Name : Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit) 
        OS Version : 20H2
        OS Build : 19042.2130
        Current ANSI codepage : 1252
        Plugins : 
            DSpellCheck (1.4.24)
            mimeTools (2.8)
            NppConverter (4.4)
            NppExport (0.4)
        

        So it works for me.

        Thus, you might need to check permissions.

        Failing that, download the DSpellCheck plugin manually, and install it into the appropriate C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins\DSpellCheck\ directory.

          That’s a good idea @PeterJones. So I went to the Plugins directory in File Explorer and pressed Ctrl-Shift-N, which creates a directory. I got the UAC dialog and I allowed it. The directory was created. I then deleted it and got the UAC dialog again, which I accepted and it deleted it. So I’d say that it should work. The computer is company controlled though and they have their own specific UAC dialog, but as I’m a dev, I was told I should have full control over my machine and what I put on it.

          Any other ideas?
