Answer 3

If you want to set proxy for Plugin Manager, maybe you need to check this config file:
%AppData%\Notepad++\plugins\config\PluginManager.ini
There are proxy address and proxy port settings.

But in my personal experience, it's not working. Not sure what goes wrong.
I'm on Plugin Manager 1.4.9.0 with Notepad++ v7.5.6 (32-bit)

Answer 4

Open cmd and type:

cd /d C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\updater
gup -options

A dialog comes up to set the proxy settings.

Answer 5

with version 7.6.6 (april 2019) (probably onwards), you can run notepad++ as admin, use menu '?' > Set Updater Proxy... close notepad++ and open it again as standard user.
