  5. restart NP++, all Settings restore (probably not all, but mostly, as i see)
  6. But! NP++ not restore session.
  7. I start compare old installed NP++ and new installed.
  8. I found 3x places where NP++ save settings: C:\Program Files\Notepad++, ...\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++, path from p1 (Cloud)

I want reinstall NP++ and be sure all settings restore.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported configuration with Cloud Config set to D:\Cloud\Settings\NPpp, then compare the files under the installation, AppData\Roaming\Notepad++, and the cloud path. Trace how session settings are saved and restored across a reinstall; done means the session and other settings consistently return from the selected cloud location.
