🌟 Overview of Notepad++
Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad Plus is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL, which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size.

Notepad++ v8.8.2 release

2025-06-30

If your virus scanner reports malware in this release (a false positive), or you see the yellow UAC popup while installing this new version of Notepad++, don’t panic. It’s due to the absence of Windows code signing procedure. An explanation has been provided in the previous announcement.

Although this release lacks a Windows code signing certificate, Notepad++ still provides a GPG signature. To protect against MITM attacks, use Gpg4win or Kleopatra, or at least verify the downloaded files using the puplished SHA256 fingerprint.

The issue CVE-2025-49144 has been fixed in v8.8.2. This vulnerability affects only installer, but not Notepad++ itself. If you have already installed Notepad++, this issue does not concerne you. However, if you plan to install or update Notepad++, please use the installer from this release.

There are more new enhancements and bug fixes.

2025-07-09

“Sometimes, when one door closes (lack of code signing) in life, another one opens (vulnerability) .”
The sentence sumarizes well the situation in the previous vession, 8.8.2.

There were - and still are - many false-positives reported in the previous version v8.8.2, by the antivirus software due to the absence of Windows code siging certificate. To prevent this issue from recurring in future releases, from this version the Notepad++ release is signed with a certificate issued by a self-signed Certificate Authority (CA). The root certificate is published on the Notepad++ website, GitHub repository & Notepad++ User Manual, allowing antivirus vendors, IT teams and users to verify the authencity of each release.
How to install the root certificate:

1. Double-click the certificate, it may tell you it’s invalid, ignore that and click: “Install Certificate..”.

2. In the Certificate Import Wizard, select “Local Machine”, then click Next.

3. If promted by UAC (optional, depending on admin Previleges), click Yes.

4. Choose “Place all certificates in the following store”, then browse and select “Trusted Root Certification Authorities”. Click Next.

5. On the final page of the wizard, click Finish to complete the installation.

For detailed instructions, see Notepad++ User Manual.

We’re still trying to obtain a certificate issued by conventional Certificate Authorities, for a better user experience. But let’s be honest: it’s probably not happening. Notepad++ isn’t a business - it’s certainly not an enterprise - and apparently, that makes a popular open-source project invisible to their gatekeeping standards.

If the “gatekeepers” won’t issue a certificate under the name we deserve - so be it. At least it spares us from wasting time and energy on a frustrting process that demands we beg for a new certificate every 3 years. The Notepad++ Root Certificate may not carry their approval, but it leads us to freedom.
