I had this problem. To fix it I ran Notepad2 as administrator and selected Settings->"Save settings now".

Also it looks like you need to run it as administrator every time otherwise recent files aren't remembered.

Select Settings -> Other Settings -> Remember Recent Files.

What version of Notepad2 are you using? – What does it say when you press [F1] on your keyboard? I'm myself on [4.2.25](https://i.imgur.com/K737Zvs.png), which I believe is the last stable version ever [offered by Florian Balmer](https://www.flos-freeware.ch/) in May 2011. I know [Notepad2 has been further developed by others](https://www.rizonesoft.com/downloads/notepad3) since then. – Henke Mar 09 '23 at 13:01
