Since a few days, when I close and reopen Notepad++, it's input language is Dutch. I want this to be English unless I manually change it (which I rarely do). I do want to have Dutch available for these rare occasions.

I looked into my language settings and what I understand is that English is my "primary language". Is this setting erroneously ignored or do I need a different setting?

Note that things were working fine but then this problem suddenly appeared out of nowhere..

    There is a checkbox Let me set a different input method for each app window under Advanced settings. Uncheck it and save settings... – JosefZ Aug 14 '15 at 15:20
  • @JosefZ: that seems to resolve the issue. Perhaps you should post that as answer instead of comment? But anyway: thanks for your help, you made my day! – RubenGeert Aug 16 '15 at 14:17

Examine further possible adjustment under Advanced settings; among others, next settings are important:

  • Override for Windows display language: keep the default Use language list (recommended) option selected for this list;
  • Override for default input method: change from default Use language list (recommended) to desired input method which any newly launched app window should start with; in your case it could be probably
    • English (United States) - US or
    • English (United States) - United States - International;
  • Switching input method:
    • Let me set a different input method for each app window checkbox: if unchecked, changes previously adjusted default input method to recently selected one all windows-wide.

FYI, here are my own advanced language settings (with Czech instead of Nederland): enter image description here

  • Thanks, this method is still working on Win10 Version 1709 (up-to-date as-of 2018-01-22)! – V-R Jan 22 '18 at 15:59
