No need to panic!
None of the files you wrote are gone. NPP is a program to view files, it stores them to your selected location.
Reinstalling NPP will be your fix.
Is it possible that a Windows update removed NPP?
Some Windows 10 updates did that for some reason at one time.

never worry, i think almost all of us are pretty busy coping with our daily lives and thus far from omni-present.
that’s why it’s so nice, that you, and many other people stop by, without really needing anything theirselves, just to check what’s new and to help out others.
This is probably due to the bundled DSpellChecker since N++ 7.5.2.
So either install additional languages or disable the automatic speller check if not needed with the ABC icon of the plugins menu.
thx. the manual maintain is the issue with Projects.
Long time user of Notepad++, but neither the Project or Folder as Workspace satisfy my requirements.
They both lack some features to make them usable. (and i want to use them).
Looks strange, indeed, did a previous version work for you or is this the first npp version you used?
What kind of setup do you use? Meaning, which operating system, which graphics card what
kind of monitor(s) in which resolution etc …

Actually, I am not good at programming. I used VB6 to write code to implent some small tools before.
But Billgates dont update VB6. So I must sellect another language. I decide to use Python just because many peple talk it on web. I have no idea about other languages.
…and an additional complication is that it is not easy to get text with line-endings in it (such as you might try to do with a copy-and-paste operation) into the Replace-with zone.
