<p dir="auto">There is nothing to fix in Notepad++.  Either you have a dirty/broken keyboard, or you have enabled Windows OS settings: that means you either need to clean/fix/replace your keyboard, or change your Windows OS settings.</p>

<p dir="auto">That’s a bit dramatic, I’d say.  If you cannot make it go away, I can understand how it might be temporarily annoying, but it should not affect your quality of life in any way, and definitely not ruin your life.</p>
<p dir="auto">It looks like you are showing the <a href="https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#misc" rel="nofollow ugc"><strong>Document Switcher</strong></a> menu, which is normally reached via <code>Ctrl+Tab</code>.  And normally after you stop cycling through, it will select whichever tab you have highlighted (the bold tab name in your screenshot).</p>
<p dir="auto">The only way that I could convince mine to stay there without disappearing was to use <code>Ctrl+Tab</code> to start the process, and hold down the <code>Ctrl</code> key and let go of <code>Tab</code> key (to keep it open), then click in a different window (like my web browser).  But as soon as I click in Notepad++ again, <code>Ctrl+Tab</code> will go back to cycling through that list, and if you let go of both <code>Ctrl</code> and <code>Tab</code>, it will select whichever tab name was highlighted and show that tab in the editor, and the menu will go away.</p>
<p dir="auto">So to get out of your predicament, click in the Notepad++ window, then hit <code>Ctrl+Tab</code> <em>briefly</em>, and it should go away again.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you are not intentionally holding down the <code>Ctrl</code> key, you might want to look to see if your keyboard has the <code>Ctrl</code> key stuck, or whether maybe you have a Windows “accessibility” feature which makes the <code>Ctrl</code> key “sticky” (called “sticky keys” – after enabling sticky keys, you click <code>Ctrl</code> or <code>Shift</code> or <code>Alt</code> once, and Windows treats it as if you are holding that key constantly, until you do the “unstick” action – which may or may not be hitting that same key again) – this helps people who have problems hitting multiple keys at once use keyboard shortcuts.  (Search for “Windows accessibility” and/or “sticky keys” in your favorite search engine to find out more about that feature, and how to enable/disable it.)</p>
