After an unplanned system restart, all of my Notepad++ temp (and unsaved) tabs are gone.
How can I avoid this in future? I don't want to have to save explicitly every single temp file with a file name.
Is there a plugin for NP++, which saves my session every time I'm editing an active tab or every X minutes?
Or is there an equivalent (and comfortable) editor to NP++, which autostores it's session automatically?

Notepad AutoSave constantly monitors the active Notepad instance and auto saves it every 30 seconds. It can also display a countdown a 3 second countdown tool-tip before triggering an auto save. You can even configure the time duration between auto saves by editing the included configuration file.
Recover unsaved Notepad ++ files from backups Backups can be found directly on PC by navigating to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\backup (usually).
Start Notepad ++, click on "Settings" > "Preference". Step 2. Click "Backup" on the window, and find the Notepad ++ unsaved files location in the Backup path.
Plugins are small or big additions to Notepad++ to enhance its functionality. Notepad++ comes bundled with a few plugins (when using the installer, you can choose which ones to add), but you can always add your own or remove some.
You can find a Notepad++ plugin called AutoSave for autosaving your files here: https://github.com/francostellari/NppPlugins/tree/main/AutoSave
(Used to link to https://sites.google.com/site/fstellari/nppplugins but that's no longer online, cached version is still available here)
It autosaves every minute, but it's configurable, and allows you to choose to save only the current document or all open documents.
