        The “big box” graphic on your Download page is actually linked to a nonexistent “8.5.1.1” version. (The text links underneath are OK.)

            File DarkModeDefault.xml lacks new lexer for MS T-SQL. Tested with 7z-package of 32 bit Npp portable v8.5.1.

              Problems with the official version of 8.5.1. So I have been following with interest the development of this version as I am interested in how you have dealt with the “Edit with Notepad++” context issue on Windows 11. I have Windows 11 22621.1413 (non Insider). I am however running StartAllBack with the Windows 10 taskbar version enabled. I had 8.5 installed. I downloaded 8.5.1 and ran the installer; this completed without errors. Immediately after the installation “Edit with Notepad++” was not available in the context menu. Looking in various places - C:\Program Files\Notepad++ I saw both the old and new context menu dll’s. Thinking something was amiss with the installation I attempted to uninstall; this errored out.
              88caae91-8952-4653-9dda-62119483988e-image.png . I tried running the uninstall executable from the program folder with the same result. At this point I just renamed the program folder and re-installed. This time “Edit with Notepad++” has shown up in the context menu, but attempting an uninstall from Control Panel or the application folder still fails: 03543846-289e-4ca6-b872-939f91a3f1aa-image.png . Going back and using an 8.5 installer still results in the same uninstall errors. Going to do some more testing but need to reboot first.
              Edit 1:
              So after renaming the application folder and rebooting I could then delete the application folder including the shell dll’s. Installing 8.4.9 looks like it will now allow an uninstall without errors.
              Edit 2:
              With 8.4.9 installed I downloaded a new version of 8.5.1 and ran the installed over 8.4.9. This installed, the Edit with Notepad++ context menu is there and it looks like the uninstaller will at least run.
              Edit 3:
              On a completely different computer, but again exact same OS version and StartAllBack with 8.5 installed I updated to 8.5.1. Immediately after the install “Edit with Notepad++” was not in context menu. At this point I restated Explorer and after the context menu appeared. Also on this system, uninstall appears to run with the previous error. I did not attempt an uninstall before restarting Explorer though.

                After install v8.5.1, you have to restart your Windows 11 (or restart explorer via Task Manager) to make the context menu entry “Edit with Notepad++” appears.

                Have you tried it?

                    in Downloads page it is written “8.5.1.1” instead "8.5.1

                      Hi everyone, how can I translate the new context menu entry in my language? With the old one I used to edit the registry entry but with this new one I can’t find a solution.

                      Thanks

                            I have installed the release 8.5.1.

                            The application associated with the html, xml and CSS files is NP++.

                            When I open one of these three types of files :

                            • from the file history of NP++ it’s ok
                            • from the open function of NP++ it’s ok
                            • from the Windows function open with it’s ok.

                            When I double click on one of these three file types I get this weird result.
                            Would you have an idea ?

                              I have the portable versions 8.4.8 and 8.5.1 on my disk. It must have disturbed Windows.

                              I renamed notepad++.exe 8.4.8. The double click works correctly now.

                                  I really appreciate the update.

                                  The new modern shell is responsible for something.
                                  I use StartAllBack, which enables the old style of context menu on Windows 11.
                                  With the new shell integration, “Edit with Notepad++” is missing.
                                  Is there a chance to add into the installer, an option to enable the old integration from 8.5 for such cases?

                                  Thank you in advance.

                                      Notepad++ stuck and trying to eat all available RAM when using “Remove Non-Bookmarked Lines”.

                                      For exemple I open IIS log file (52Mb or 139231 in lines), then Find > Mark > set to find “10.212.136.1” and check “Bookmark line”, click “Mark All”, it’s marked 315 lines. After that click Search > Bookmark > “Remove Non-Bookmarked Lines” and got Notepad++ stuck. This bug in 8.4.6 - 8.5.1 version, 8.4.5 work fine.

                                      Please fix it.

                                            Could you confirm me it happens only on unistallation of Notepad++ v8.5.1 ?

                                            Could you provide me here your Debug Info (via menu ?->Debug Info...) please?

                                            I have Windows 11 (10.0.22621.1413) italian 64bit and I have this issues with NPP 8.5.1 64bit installer.
                                            I shoudl back to NPP 8.5.0 64bit installer (no errors)

                                            I don’t get the situation you have had - because of uninstallation error, you have to back to v8.5? Then what leads you to uninstall v8.5.1 ?
