Find tab: Gives access to searching and counting. It can be invoked directly with Search > Find or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F. Replace tab: Similar to Find tab, but allows you to replace the matched text after it's found. It can be invoked directly with Search > Replace or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H.

The issue seems happens if I change monitors configuration , e.g. if I worked on laptop with 2 attached monitors, and next time open Notepad++ when having single laptop monitor.

For me it was sufficient to delete %appdata%\Notepad++\config.xml (not the whole folder).

  1. Close Notepad++
  2. Open %appdata%\Notepad++ folder (e.g. C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Notepad++ )
  3. Delete (or rename in case if you want a backup) config.xml
  4. Start Notepad++
