Notepad++ likes to have admin privilages.

Very annoying. Specially a stopper if you are not admin.

  Hi,
  
  The problem comes from the auto-update option.
  
  If turned on, NPP v4.7.5 uses CreateProcess API to launch GUP.EXE which requires elevation.

    How do you turn the auto-update option off?

  Also true if you need to modify hosts file in windows/system32/drivers/etc. Can't save changes if not in admin mode.
