常见问题解答 (FAQ) | Notepad++ 帮助与支持

Q: My 'Plugins Admin' is missing from the menu. How do I fix it?

This usually happens if the nppPluginList.dll file is missing or blocked by antivirus. Check if C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\Config\nppPluginList.dll exists. If missing, reinstall the latest version of Notepad++.

Q: How do I verify the GPG Signature?

To ensure your download is genuine: Download the 'GPG Notepad++ Public key', import it into your GPG keychain, and verify the signature file (.sig) against the installer.

Q: Notepad++ crashes immediately on startup.

This is often caused by a corrupt plugin or session file. Try launching with the -noPlugin flag to disable plugins, or -nosession to start with a fresh blank session.

Q: I see 'Ghost Typing' or weird text appearing.

This is likely the 'Ghost Typing' effect, a harmless Easter egg in older versions, or a specific typing macro you accidentally recorded.

Q: What is the difference between Themes and Dark Mode?

Dark Mode (Settings > Dark Mode) changes the window UI (menus, tabs, title bars), while Themes (Settings > Style Configurator) only change the colors of the text editor area itself.

Q: Where are my configuration files stored?

For Installed Version: %APPDATA%\Notepad++\. For Portable Version: Inside the same folder as notepad++.exe.
