welcome to the notepad++ community, @papryka1
we do not have your current debug information, so here is a general guide:
one thing that can cause what you see is, if the plugin list is missing.
please go to plugins > open plugins folder... and look for a folder called Config. this has to contain a file called nppPluginList.dll, which contains the plugin list.
(in your case you will have to browse manually to your notepad++ program and plugins folder, e.g.:C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\Config or C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\Config and check if the file called nppPluginList.dll is missing)
how to re-install plugins admin:
32 bit: if
nppPluginList.dllor the wholeConfigfolder is missing, please re-install notepad++ 7.6.5. 32 bit over your existing notepad++ 32 bit, by using the installer from here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.5/npp.7.6.5.Installer.exe64 bit: if
nppPluginList.dllor the wholeConfigfolder is missing, please re-install notepad++ 7.6.5. 64 bit over your existing notepad++ 64 bit, by using the installer from here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.6.5/npp.7.6.5.Installer.x64.exe
(uninstall of the existing notepad++ is not necessary)
important: when you re-install notepad++ over your existing notepad++, make sure that the installer options plugins and plugins admin are enabled.
note: on some occasions you will have to re-install twice, first time de-selecting the options plugins and plugins admin, and then re-installing another time activating both options plugins and plugins admin.
