Hi Support,
PatchMyPC updates Notepad++ for us automatically. Our security portal is currently reporting that all our devices have an old version installed.
If I look in Control Panel I see 7.9.1 is installed (which is incorrect). Because if I open Notepad++ version 8.5.2 is installed.
Microsoft Security Portal and the Control panel are looking to the following registry hive.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{84AB9486-65EF-402E-B061-B128FBCEF91B}
I can see another hive in the registry which contains the new information.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Notepad++
I informed Microsoft about the change in the registry. But what still bothers me is that the eventhough the update is being done Control panel doesn't show both versions or updates it. The newest version isn't installed or so it seems (but it is).
