Right click: Edit with Notepad++ | clicking does nothing.
I wanted to know what was in the menu – I was trying to diagnose whether something had gone wrong with the Shell Extension, and whether that was what you meant by “blocked”. But since you could see and click on it, that was obviously not the case, so we’ll move on.
Run this program as an administrator (on the exe, not the shortcut) greyed out.
If you are seeing that option greyed out while enabled, like this:

then you have to click Change settings for all users, where it shouldn’t be greyed out:

When you uncheckmark it there, then OK, the all-users dialog will close and the original Properties will update to not greyed out and it will be uncheckmarked, too:

Now Notepad++ should stop running as Admin.
