@pghudson Which version of N++ did you update from? Do you know which plugins are missing now? Have you done the update via the installer manually or with the help of some other tools like e.g. winget? Was the previous N++ version also the 64bit version? Did you made changes during installation to:
Admin mode : OFF
Local Conf mode : OFF
?

I also had this problem.
Wakatime plugin was removed a few months ago (I don’t know for sure, I didn’t notice it right away). Updates are usually installing by auto-installer, but sometimes manually.
