To verify which is your default encoding configuration, for Non-Unicode files, just open the ASCII Insertion Panel ( Edit > Character Panel ). So, on opening a Cyrillic encoded file, N++ should use, the standard ANSI encoding…Īnd, as your default character set, for NON-Unicode files, is, certainly, Windows-1251, your should see, immediately, the right Cyrillic characters, that you expect to :-))

I advice you to disable that feature ( Settings > Preferences… > MISC > Autodetect character encoding ). Hello, probably, have the encoding auto-detection enabled.
