I've been using NP++ for quite some time, and I've always had to manually update it. Clicking the "Update Notepad++" option under the "?" menu simply pops up a message saying that no update is available. It doesn't even access the Internet before making that determination. I've looked through my ZoneAlarm program list, and the only programs I have permanently blocked are recognizable as NOT NP++ executables, and even if I had NP++ permanently allowed (which I haven't because it hasn't tried accessing the Internet), it would prompt me any time a new version tried to access the Internet. Nothing at all happens to indicate any attempt to access the Internet is ever made.
Is this a known problem? Is this a universal problem? I'm using NP++ (currently 5.4.5) in Windows XP 32-bit.

It's just not triggered.
v5.4.5 is not considered as a stable version. Once a release is tested and no critical issue, auto-updater will be triggered.

If an item is in GUI, it must have its feature - it make sense for me.
The update feature works fine, so no need to remove this item.

Because it's an asked question, and the answer was repeated several times.
Searching in the forums before asking your question is strongly recommended.

One major cause of problem is the false, or at least misleading, messages in a program.
- If a menu item is labeled "Update Notepad++", then it MUST *Update Notepad++*.
- If no update function works, then *NO* item must be labeled "Update Notepad++" or anything similer, and any existing one MUST be removed IMMEDIATELY (and SANS the usual endless useless irrelevant nitpicking too frequent on these forums)

It just happened to me with NPP version 5.4.1. I clicked on "Update Notepad++" and got the "No Update Available" message. Then I went to the website and saw that version 5.4.5 was available.
There are a few threads on this topic but no responses from the developers. The simplest fix would be to just remove the menu item. I wonder why no attention is being paid to this.
