Hello @RaiKoHoff,
Tested with: Notepad3 (64-bit) develop v3.18.502.1010

"Check Website for Update" doesn't open anymore "Check Website for Update" ? 🤔

Broken by disabling wyUpdate.exe (side effect) 😭
Please test "_develop_3.18.503.1012"

Check with Notepad3 (64-bit) develop v3.18.503.1012
Issue resolved, ready to close. 😃

Hello @RaiKoHoff, @rizonesoft
As wyUpdate is discontinued, I suggest to remove completely the line Launch Update Installer 🤔

Other suggestion: Please, revert to a more conventional "Help" instead of the ugly "?" 😃

@hpwamr , @rizonesoft : Did you see, that you can configure an arbitrary Update Checker, even a batch script, so you are able to provide an UpdateChecker/Installer later on and configure it without exchanging Notepad3.exe. The menu entry then is enabled.
Or the user himself can put a Script in here to check for example GitHub ...

[Settings2]
UpdateChecker.exe=UpdateCheck.bat

Just for reference: Related Help vs. ? discussion:
Keyboard Shortcut Conflict: Help vs Open Recent File (#306)
Ed.:
@hpwamr : So your suggestion is renaming ? to Help and using no Accelerator-Key anymore for help menu ?

RaiKoHoff on 8 May 2018

@hpwamr , @rizonesoft : We can rename it to:
Menu: "Start Administration Tool..."

[Settings2]
;AdminTool.exe=...

😉

The question is : An "Accelerator Keys" is it well needed for a so "little" menu (bells and whistles) ? 🤔

@hpwamr, I use the menu keyboard shortcuts all the time. The less time my hands are away from the keyboard, the more productive I am.

Yes, why not ! A reserved field for the future "Notepad3 Administration Tool...". It's a good idea. 🤔

I see that the choice is to keep the ugly "?" 😏 😆

@hpwamr : I also like to switch to "Help", but didn't found a solution for the Hotkey ... :expressionless:
A solution to keep the Alt+? would be using "Help?" or "?Help", which is ugly too :grimacing: .

@RaiKoHoff , @rizonesoft
Yes, RaiKoHoff, I know your problem... , I've read #306 😢 🤔
The question remains : An "Hotkey ..." is it really necessary for a so "tiny" menu ? 😏
It's an answer : Yes/No. 😆

That's "SUPER" ugly ! 😬 🤣

I use the menu keyboard shortcuts all the time. The less time my hands are away from the keyboard, the more productive I am.

How many times a day is : Alt+? needed ? 🤔 😆
That's what I mean with : "Bells and Whistles" !

When I am testing a bunch of different Notepad3 versions together, referencing the version number is something I do very often.

It is a window menu. Window menus should have keyboard shortcuts. It is inconsistent for one menu to not have a keyboard shortcut. I have a low tolerance for inconsistency, particularly when it comes to UI/UX.
