Updating the software can fix known bugs and compatibility issues that may cause Notepad++ to crash on startup. Here's how you can update Notepad++ on your Windows system:
Automatically check for updates
Open Notepad++ and go to the question mark (?) menu on the top menu bar.
Select the option "Check for updates". If a new version is available, a notification will appear.
Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the update. This process ensures that you have the latest features and bug fixes.
Update it manually
If the "Check for updates" option does not show a new version greece telegram data or you prefer to handle updates manually, visit the official Notepad++ website under "Notepad++ Downloads".
Download the installer that matches your system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
Run the installer to update to the latest version. This method is simple and ensures that you are not dependent on automatic app update checks.
When upgrading, you don't need to manually migrate your settings or plugins. The Notepad++ installer preserves your configurations and installed plugins, making upgrading easy.
Step 2: Disable plugins to identify the culprit.
Plugins are another potential cause of Notepad++ crashing. By disabling them, you can check if the main application itself is stable. To troubleshoot effectively and determine which plugin may be causing the crash, follow these detailed steps.
