Notepad++ froze for no reason when saving onto an external HDD.
This happened for the first time ever.
The file was not saved.
How do I get out of this infinite state without needing to restart Notepad++?
Why did this happen in first place?
The same happened more than a year earlier with MsPaint.
I refer to the attachment below here. The image displayed is so my Windows Update. It makes no update. Thus has it locked up, and I find no way to make some updates in Windows Update. Nor do I know what I can do to rectify the deadlock. Someone who can afford?

This means that the user can not save his data. This is not acceptable!!
