Here is further detail of this new fix:

While loading a user created session, the essential point is not modify the session at all, even there are some inaccessible files on loading, or some closed files before exiting Notepad++.
We let users modified their session files themselves, by using the “Save Session…” command.
Note that if Open session in a new instance (and save session automatically on exit) option in “Multi-instance & Date” section is checked, then the session will be modified if there are some inaccessible files.
