notepad++

Notepad++ Search Window disappeared

I'm working with NotePad++ text editor, the 'Search Results' window does not show up anymore, i've tried to open it from the menu (Search Result Window F7), but it does not seem to have any effect, how can i restore it?

Solution

  • The issue seems happens if I change monitors configuration , e.g. if I worked on laptop with 2 attached monitors, and next time open Notepad++ when having single laptop monitor.

    For me it was sufficient to delete %appdata%\Notepad++\config.xml (not the whole folder).

    1. Close Notepad++
    2. Open %appdata%\Notepad++ folder (e.g. C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Notepad++ )
    3. Delete (or rename in case if you want a backup) config.xml
    4. Start Notepad++
