Git How to commit after closing editor?

I am using windows machine with notepad++ installed. I configured the editor using the following command

git config --global core.editor "'C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe' -multiInst -nosession"

Then I created a new blank repository and added a "New Text Document.txt" file. Now when i execute "git commit" command it opens a new notepad++ instance with the texts. 

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Changes to be committed:
#   new file:   New Text Document.txt
#

Now i save the "COMMIT_EDITMSG" file by clicking save button in Notepad++ and close Notepad++ instance.

My expectation is, all commits are done. However if i run "git status" command it still shows file is not commited

Initial commit

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)

    new file:   New Text Document.txt

What else i need to do for committing the changes?

you should look at Using Notepad++ as Git Editor without affecting settings which has this on one of the comments

[core]
autocrlf = true
editor = "'C:/PROGRA~2/NOTEPA~1/NOTEPA~1.EXE' -multiInst -notabbar -nosession -noPlugin"
