Within the past week I've noticed that rebooting Windows 10 seems to be resetting the default back to notepad. I can run NotepadReplacer again to fix it for my session, but I'm certain now that each reboot will cause it to revert back to using notepad.exe. My assumption is that some recent Windows Update is the culprit.
Have you seen this behavior and is there any sort of fix/hack/resolution to it?
I've re-tested Notepad Replacer on Windows 10 1607 here with a few reboots and didn't run into any issues. Do any other settings on your system get reset? Is this a personal computer, or a company computer that might have some central IT policies being applied to it?
I just tested after another reboot and it was not reset. I'm not sure what the culprit was over the last 3 or 4 reboots, but it seems to have stopped doing it. Thank you for looking into it.
Just made an account to report this. I work in IT and I have recently installed multiple computers with Windows 10-1709 and I have had the same problem on all of them.
Notepadreplacer used to work but for some reason it has stopped suddenly opening files in Notepad instead of my Sublime Text 3.
Wild guess; it seems that Windows might be protecting changes to the registry or something. Such a shame because I simply love this app.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\Notepad.exe]
"Debugger"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Text 3\\sublime_text.exe\" -z"
