Please fix EV SIGN

The certificate / signature is not broken – it is signed using a CA (Certificate Authority) Certificate that you don’t have. You just need to follow the instructions linked to as the self-signed-certificate link in the Release Announcement, which links to the official website instructions: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v883-self-signed-certificate/ . Or the online user manual has an entire section on how to install the CA cert on your machine.
(GlobalSign refused to let the developer get a certificate issued in the “Notepad++” name, so he made this new CA cert to “bridge the gap” until he is able to get some paperwork filed with his local government to register “Notepad++” as an organization, so that hopefully GlobalSign will be willing to use the “Notepad++” name on the certificate; government beaurocracy can be slow, so it might be a while, which is why the CA cert needs to be installed in the interim.)
