I may be a bit dense, but I have been able to allow multiple instances to run in previous versions of TextPad 7 and 8, but due to a problem on my desktop I now have an install of TextPad 8.14.2 on a new Windows 10 laptop.
I probably need a step by step description of what is needed in Preferences> General
Thought all I had to do was to keep unchecked Allow multiple instances to run
I don't use Workspaces (never have).
I have a registered version of TextPad, probably have NOT made the laptop's install aware of that
[edit] - corrected the version that I have installed.
Multiple Instances - problem
