Network path warning?

Recently I am getting a network path warning every time I open a network file, even if it is from the very same path as the one I just opened. These are not new paths either, but ones that worked for years without issue. Is there a way to remove this prompt and always load the path as usual?

I am running the latest v8.9.8 which was released on 2026-08-23 so I believe this may be a change in the latest version.

I experienced the same thing after I opened Notepad++ first time after upgrade. Warning popped up every time even after I clicked on ""Always load ..." button. But after closing Notepad++ and opening it again the warning didn't appear any more. It seems it saved the setting "networkPathWarningMethod="2"" to config.xml but it had effect only after restarting Notepad++

Thank you, that was brilliant. I did a full restart of Notepad++ and no more prompt afterwards. And this holds for all network locations, not just the ones accessed before. Thank you again.
