You can run notepad++.exe -noPlugin to disable all plugins, which should make v8.3.1 load properly. Some of the big-name plugins have been updated, but others aren’t as actively maintained, and you may have to fill out issues in each plugin’s issues-location and hope that the developer will fix it. Unfortunately, that means that most plugins that worked with v8.2.1 and earlier need to be updated/recompiled by their individual maintainers and then you have to re-install (for most of them, it will have to be a manual re-install of the plugin, because the updated versions are not available from Plugins Admin yet).

And v8.3 and v8.3.1 upgraded the way that plugins interface with Notepad++… (it was even mentioned in the announcement posts which I just linked to).
