Notepad++ saves these temporary files for only a certain amount of time, so there's no guarantee that you will be able to recover your lost tab, specially if it was closed too long before. But it's still worth a shot to avoid losing work.
- Go to
console %APPDATA%\Notepad++\backups
-
This is the location that Notepad++ saves, by default, snapshots of the current tabs. If you close one of your tabs without saving, you could recove it from this folder.
-
There's also, in
console Settings > Preferences > Backup, some setting that you can tweak so the backup preferences suit your work better.
Nice tip brother!!
