While saving a file needs the admin privilege, and if "Always In Multi-Instance Mode" option is activated, the current Notepad++ instance will be closed and a new instance with admin privilege contains no file is launched - it makes user confused because there are nothing to be edited and saved. This commit fixes the issue by keeping the 1st instance opened, and launching the 2nd instance (with admin privilege) which contains the file in question - so user can modify it and save it. The new behaviour (of this commit) not only fixes the issue, but also makes more sense, since it's "Always In Multi-Instance Mode". Note that the same behaviour happens if the session & periodical backup feature is disabled. Fix #14694, close #14701
