      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.

              @PGomersall

              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 ?
