Great you found a solution for your issue. Maybe mine is related to yours (?) ; see #649

Yes the temporary files are saved to disk. I cannot say for sure why it was giving the error but there was most likely something corrupted in the ini file that saves all of Notepad Next's settings (including information about those session files). If you do have this happen again I would be very interested in looking into the ini file more to make sure there is plenty of error catching to prevent this kind of error.
Then we could simply have an exception to this error so that when the ini file is corrupted, we could simply load with default settings? Or should we simply autosave the ini file to a backup, so that if it's crashed and the ini file is corrupted, copy from backup?
@matthewyang204 Yeah alot more robustness and ultimately some sort of general exception handling would be a good idea as there's been more than once case of users completely unable to load the application to an apparent config file issue.
