Open Notepad++ in Different Workspace Without Switching
-
I’m using Windows 11 and have two workspaces, A and B. I have Notepad++ open in workspace A with multiple tabs for different files. When I switch to workspace B and right-click a file to select ‘Edit with Notepad++’, it opens the file in a new tab in the existing Notepad++ window in workspace A, causing the workspace to switch back to A.
What I want is for a new Notepad++ window to open in workspace B when I select ‘Edit with Notepad++’ on a file, while still keeping the existing Notepad++ window with its tabs in workspace A. Is there a way to achieve this behavior?
PS: Here’s my Notepad++ debug info, in case it’s useful:

Probably you need to play a bit with
Menu Settings > Preferences > Multi-Instance & Date > Multi-instance settings
and see the option that best fits your needs.Screenshot follows:
