            I thought I were a perfectionist, but I turn out to be a prefectionist!
            Thank you for your heads up, the typo is fixed (also on the website).

                  @donho Please see the <NeedToBeUpdated> is always “yes” forum thread which covers a regression introduced by Notepad v8.5.7.

                  In this case likely fix will be in win4gup and then to https://notepad-plus-plus.org/update/getDownloadUrl.php

                    Greetings! If I decide to install Notepad++, Windows 11 in safe mode starts having a problem with Explorer.exe if I right-click on an image, or on an application.

                    Sometimes I happen to go into Safe Mode to completely uninstall the Nvidia video card drivers. And that’s where I noticed this. It took me a while to realize it was Notepad++.

                    It’s definitely something with the contextual menu, because if I use the portable version, which doesn’t insert anything into the contextual menu, everything works perfectly.

                    I hope this isn’t something said many times and, if not, I apologize in advance!

                      This crash of NppShell is fixed in v8.5.8 release. The candidate of v8.5.8 is available here:

                        @donho I have confirmed that at the shell context right-click menu works in Windows 11 safe mode for at least the 32-bit installed Notepad++ v8.5.8 RC1. I also also added a note at https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/89824

                        Sorry for the semi-cross post as I saw the v8.5.8 RC announcement, downloaded and installed that, and then saw this thread which prompted me to reboot and test in safe mode.

                        When I tested this before I also tested the 64 bit installation and it was working in safe mode with the new NppShell.dll.

                          8.5.7, bad news…

                          for information, when switching to “admin” in order to save a file, I’ve lost all my other opened (unsaved) documents.

                            I’m so sorry for delay of my reply. I can confirm that worked. This new 8.5.8 RC work perfectly in safe mode. I can’t see any refresh after right click. Thank you so much!
