For me (PeterJones in forum), it worked just fine in installed 7.5.6 32bit, but behaved as @warg0x4e reported in portable 7.5.7 64bit.

I still see the exact same issue in v7.9.3 64bit

Same here, I still see the exact same issue in v7.9.2 32bit (portable edition). The only solution seems to be to close and open Notepad++ again.

@panvicka I opened a feature request for this: #9638 Maybe the manual refresh that I am suggesting would be helpful for you, too.

Seeing the issue on 7.9.5

Not refreshing when using UNC \\wsl$\ folders on Windows 11, but works for local (i.e. C:...) drives/folders though, even if you map your WSL$ to a local drive it still does not work.
