@CennoxX
Thank you for your heads up.
Fixed now. -
Clearing Read-Only Flag does not make a file editable.
On v8.5.7, when you clear read-only flag of a file, you need to reload the file from the disk to be enable to edit it.
E.g. on v8.5.6, reload is not required, just clearing read-only flag makes a file editable.

@donho Please see the <NeedToBeUpdated> is always “yes” forum thread which covers a regression introduced by Notepad v8.5.7.
In this case likely fix will be in win4gup and then to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php
