V. 8.5.4 (64 bits) still crashing when opening a TXT file.
-
When I double click a TXT file, Notepad++ starts, opens the file, and a few seconds later it crashes and display the window below.
Clicking Debug, gets even worse and crashes deeply.
Opening Notepad++ by the shortcut or Start Menu, everything works fine.
Running on:

You most likely have two copies of Notepad++ installed; your file association is pointing to one which is crashing (maybe because of an incompatible plugin installed; follow this FAQ’s debug procedure); and the other (which you get to by your shortcut or start menu) points somewhere else.
Right click on the shortcut or the start menu entry, look at the shortcut Properties, and look at the shortcut’s Target path.
Then run regedit.exe and search for notepad++.exe – you will most likely find that one or more of the mentions in the registry point somewhere different than your shortcuts do.
