The problem

When you start Notepad++ you immediately receive the error

unknown exception

The solution

We found out that the plugin "NppFTP" sometimes messes up its own configuration. You can reset it like this:

1. Go to the folder

   C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config\NppFTP

   Or: WIN+R (run) and enter

   %appdata%\Notepad++\plugins\config\NppFTP

2. Delete the folder cache
3. Delete the file Certificates.xml
4. Restart Notepad++
5. It will recreate the necessary files when it needs them. You will not lose any data
