And I have a memory that something occasionally goes wrong and leaves the x86 version in the registry, even after the 64-bit is installed. From what I remember, each extension gets an OpenWithList which includes notepad++.exe, and then the registry looks in Applications\Notepad++.exe to find out the actual path to that command so if that key points to a non-existent executable, Windows ignores that OpenWith option. Locate the following Registry key: HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREClassesSystemFileAssociations. (I’d do a full search of the registry, but I think it’s something like HKCU\Software\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe and/or HKLM\Software\Classes\Applications\Notepad++.exe, both of which might map to HKCR\Applications\Notepad++.exe. Now, to change the default Edit application open the Windows Registry by pressing Windows R, typing regedit and hitting enter. If you have a 64-bit Notepad++ installed in C:\Program Files\Notepad++, search your registry for C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ and replace any such instance with C:\Program Files\Notepad++ – it may be that something wrote the wrong value into the registry (maybe a previous 32-bit installation), and so Windows 10 looks for a nonexistent location, cannot find it, and then refuses to associate an OpenWith action for Notepad++.
