      When trying to save a normal txt file a nag popup says “File not found - Check the name and try again” Doesn’t matter what the name is or where the folder is. This worked before updating to 8.7

      Notepad++ v8.7 (64-bit)

        @Mikko-Torniainen ,

        I’ve been using v8.7 since it was released, and I’ve never seen that error.

        This sounds somewhat like this issue from August – wherein it turned out the user had AntiVirus SW that turned on a buried Windows setting to “protect” the user. You might want to check the setting that @xomx mentioned in that discussion.

        If that setting was already off for you, and if you know that you don’t have AntiVirus/AntiMalware getting in the way, then try using MS notepad.exe to save a file to a given directory, and then try using Notepad++ to save in the exact same directory.
