        I am unable to install this new version. I uninstalled 6.8.2 to see if this would help but it didn’t. What next? I am on Windows 7.

          @Ajay-Gupta Does the installer not even start? Does it crash? Does it appear to install but Notepad++ won’t launch? Not much to go one with the info you provided.

            Installer won’t even start. It prompts for the administrator privileges but nothing seems to happen after that.

              Thanks, much needed. Startup and shutdown were a pain. (Portable on Vista)

                You might prefer to download the ZIP file, and just create a folder structure out of it and put the NOTEPAD++ directory on your path.

                  I tried to install again but this time with the admin privileges. The installation succeeded this time. Not sure why I needed this extra step this time.

                    This is what happens when I try to type or just read something on russian language on Windows 10. I tried to change font to Times New Roman, but it didn’t helped. I tried to change encodings too, and it also didn’'t solved the problem.

                        I just installed the update. I no longer can right-click after highlighting text. I want to issue a copy but I do not receive a menu as I use to see. Also when closing Notepad++, the window hangs and I must cancel the process to close the window. I’m running Windows 8.1.

                          @John-Oshiro Please check if you got DSpellCheck plugin installed.
                          If yes, remove it will solve your problem.

                            @Gleb-Brain Me too. I couldn’t save Macro after restart NPP v6.8.3.
                            Step by step:

                            1. Start Recording.
                            2. Type anything, ex. bla bla bla
                            3. Stop.
                            4. Save.
                            5. Saved macro shown in Macro List.
                            6. I can playback or run it for good.
                            7. But, restart NPP then it disappear in Macro List.

                            My PC:

                                  Directly after updating to 6.8.3, the cursor would always jump to the top of a file when switching between editor tabs. Restarting Notepad++ did not help.
                                  I had many files open, most of them new files without a filename. Closing all editor windows (and saving all the new files to be kept) and then restarting Notepad++ did help. Now the cursor does not jump to top anymore.
                                  Oh, and I really like the feature that new files need not be saved between editor restarts! I often use them as scratch pads, without the intention to ever give them a filename.

                                    I believe it’s a plugin issue. If it happens again, please let us know.

                                      After updating to 6.8.3, the font suddenly looks ugly as shown in this picture, seems like some kind of monospace font.
                                      I have been using “Vibrant Ink” theme.
                                      Only standard plugin (out-of-the-box) is installed.

                                          After the update my theme ‘Bespin’ has the same issue as @Nugraha-Toriq mentioned. The font, no matter what I choose, looks ugly and has nothing to do with the formatting of Courier New, also changing the font size makes no difference.

                                            Hello,

                                            Problems observed on windows XP with Notepad++ 6.8.3 and with Hex-Editor plugin :

                                            (The 3 cases described below are systematic with my configuration)

                                            1. Win32Exception

                                              Way to reproduce :

                                              • Run Notepad++

                                              • Click on new
                                                => a “new 1” tab is created

                                              • Write a text (notepad++ for example)

                                              • Select view in HEX

                                              • Select the text in Dump column

                                              • Type ctrl+C to copy the selection

                                              • click on new

                                                => Win32Exception
                                                An exception occured, Notepad++ cannot recover and must be shut down
                                                The exception details are as follows:
                                                Code: 0xC0000005
                                                Type: Access violation
                                                Exception address: 0xFFFFFFFF

                                                => Notepad++ crash analysis with dump file NppDump.dmp generated

                                            2. Error HexEditor.dll

                                              This problem occurs when %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins directory does not exist (It happens with a new user)

                                              Way to reproduce :

                                              • Rename %APPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins directory

                                              • Run Notepad++

                                              • Notepad++ windows does not start (notepad++ process is running)

                                              • Wait more than 1 minute

                                                => C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\HexEditor.dll
                                                Failed to load
                                                This plugin is not compatible with current version of Notepad++.
                                                Do you want to remove this plugin from plugins directory to prevent this message from the next lauch time?

                                                => Click yes

                                                  => Exception On WM_CREATE
                                                     Unknown exception
                                                

                                              The problem is solved creating an empty plugins directory in %APPDATA%\Notepad++.

                                            3. 2 “new 1” tabs (minor)

                                              Way to reproduce :

                                              • Run Notepad++

                                              • Click on new
                                                => a “new 1” tab is created

                                              • Select View in HEX

                                              • click on new
                                                => another “new 1” tab is created

                                            Regards
