Do you by any chance have also the Dell SupportAssist SW installed on your computer?

(check if you have the C:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssistAgent\SRE\SRE.exe on your disk, we have a proof that this external program, in its latest version updated January 17th 2024, is deleting the Notepad++ session.xml file)

Hi @xomx, thank you for your reply. Yes, I have that file. I had these checked:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/15742/faq-autosaving-unnamed-new-1-files
so I was able to restore my New... files from the backup, thankfully.

Cannot reproduce, I tried:

• uninstalled the current N++
• logoff/logon (this is to possibly release the previous NppShell extension loaded in the Windows Explorer shell process
• installed older v8.6.4 x64
• opened in N++ few unsaved tabs with something and some existing files
• closed the v8.6.4
• installed v8.6.5 over the previous version (I tried both the automatic WinGup way from within the N++ and also the update via a manually downloaded installer)
• opened the v8.6.5 ... ok, all the previously opened N++ tabs were there

Could you describe your upgrade in more details? Anything unusual during that process?
