Problem with Notepad++

Hello, I have started learning to create a website in HTML/CSS. For several weeks, when I open my file, the browser launches correctly and shows me "the fruit of my labor," or at least what I've coded. Recently, when I try to open it, my browser always opens to the homepage.
I even tried again with a Notepad page that only had the basic code of an HTML page, and the browser still opens to the homepage.

Does anyone know why this change occurred and how to resolve it? Thank you so much in advance!!

    What browser are you using, and have you tried another browser (other than Internet Explorer, which is a terrible mess for web developers)?

    If you're using Firefox, to avoid being caught out, you need to clear the cache every time you modify your code. Why? Simply because Firefox saves the HTML pages you've visited to speed up loading during your next visit. However, the cache takes priority, and you might end up looking for a non-existent error when you see your interface unchanged after modifying your .html.

    Thank you for your response!

    I use Chrome and even when I open IE, I land on the homepage.

    I may have expressed myself poorly, but it's not that the page does not display a modification of my html; my problem is that when I try to open my file, the browser launches but does not display the pages I have coded. I arrive, as if my code does not exist, at the homepage of the browser (Chrome or IE, I have not tried Firefox).

    Oww... have you tried it on a server that you created yourself? And tried to access it?
    The problem might come from the fact that you are working locally..
    Otherwise, a simple trick is to open your browser without going through the page and drag your HTML document into it.
