CSV Query windows only appear when Notepad++ is run as Administrator #48

I am running Notepad++ 8.6.4 x64 on Windows 10 Enterprise v21H2. The plugin version is 1.2.9. Although some of the menu items seem to work (e.g. CvsQuery > Manual Parse Settings), when I select "Toggle CSV Query Window" nothing happens. When I run Notepad++ as Administrator, everything works flawlessly.

Unfortunately, this is a work computer and I do not have Admin rights. I was able to test with temporary Admin access but this is not something I can do going forward. Is there a way to set permissions so the plugin will run as a non-elevated user?

That's really odd. It should not be like that. Try removing the addon and reinstall. Or reinstall the whole Notepad++. Something is wrong in your installation.

I just tried locally with a local windows account. No admin needed for the plugin to work.

Unfortunately, I've tried just reinstalling the addon which, didn't work so I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Notepad++ and the addon. The result is the same. I am having the same issue with csvLint though. These are the only two addons with this issue. Is there perhaps a directory or something that needs to have the correct permissions?

The plugin is installed in C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\CsvQuery, like all plugins. Or if you use 32 bit N++, C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\CsvQuery Perhaps take a look at the permissions there.

Welp...ID10t error. I was seeing footprints and thought of Zebras. The solution was obvious now that I know what it is...the bottom panel had simply minimized to nothing.

In case anyone else makes this rather silly mistake, take a look here: https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/24876/faq-i-cannot-find-my-panel

Either way, glad you got it solved!
