Please test “Edit with Notepad++” context menu (with installer), which has had a few issues in v8.5.1. These issues should be fixed in v8.5.2

Thank you in advance for your help!

Edit: you’re welcome to report your Notepad++ context menu installation results.

• For Windows 11, please let us know if “Edit with Notepad++” is installed on both Windows 11 modern menu and classic legacy menu (via “Show more options”).
• For the other OS, please report if it is installed on the classic legacy menu correctly, as previous Notepad++ versions do.

Everything seems to work as expected under Windows 7. Unfortunately the uninstaller does not remove tabContextMenu_example.xml from %appdata%

@rddim
Thank you for your testing and report.

The uninstaller will clean it better in the official release of v8.5.2:

Windows 10 x86 => update from 8.5.1 to 8.5.2 => context menu entry is working

From the version ‘npp.8.4.5.Installer.x64’ text modules ( AutoHotkey) can no longer be inserted, with earlier versions it worked. I need this urgently. Please correct the error.
