After restart, the update still shows under the Updates tab and the Installed version still shows 1.4.6. Additionally, the DSpellCheck plugin that comes with NPP is 1.4.6 and there is an update to 1.4.9. However, after restart, the new plugin is not in the list, nor are any of the files listed in the above mentioned directories. I have tried to install the Compare plugin and NPP closes after I click Yes to the popup about exiting and restarting NPP. I select Plugin Admin which brings up the dialog box to install new or update existing plugins. When I launch NPP and go to the Plugins menu item, I see the pre-installed plugins as well as Plugin Admin. It does however create a Notepad++ folder under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming. Nothing ever gets created in %LOCALAPPDATA% directory for NPP.

They also mention that the plugins can be found under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Notepad++\plugins. The other threads have stated that plugs in in the Program Files (x86) or Program Files directories depending on which version installed. I have tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of NPP I’ve looked through them and still cannot get mine to install or update plugins. I know there are other posts out there about issues with Plugin Admin in 7.6.x.
