  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I call BS. More likely notepad++ attempted to update and their new installer is no longer signed as the developer has been having issues getting a new signing certificate based on the app name (they want a legal identity).

No, Windows Explorer itself does this when attempting to access network files under some byzantine set of conditions I've never been able to get to the bottom of. For instance, my machine at work bitches at me whenever I attempt to open or copy any log file (which is obviously just a text file) from either of my Linux based servers.

I use Notepad++ also, and trying to open one of these files either from Explorer or the file open dialog in NP++ triggers the warning.

I literally did it just now to generate this screenshot.

Okay that is a common error when accessing unknown network shares and network settings are misconfigured. Need to add whatever IP or network name to intranet zone. It's not to do with the file type or contents.

It was most certainly not Notepad trying to update, it very definitely was Windows intercepting the file open process.

the ongoing security nightmare that is the np++ auto-update mechanism continues to generate content
