HELP!!! Multiple context menu entries

@Nandini-CD
Hey!
You sound like panicking :)
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21965/please-read-this-before-postingThere’s something there about debug info… and probably other things.
-
Aside from that, I’d look at what’s the version and location of Notepad++ when you open files with each of those context entries. Thus, debug info from N++ of each.

addendum: Actually, I’ve thought of a possible easy-to-fix culprit, but I’ll need you to share your Debug Info like @Victorel-Petrovich requested – the Debug Info is in the ? menu in Notepad++. With that information, I’ll be able to frame a suggestion / request for more information without having to make assumptions about your setup.

@Nandini-CD said in HELP!!! Multiple context menu entries:
Notepad++ v8.5 (64-bit)
There have been
56 releases of Notepad++ since that version. The right-click context menu has been improved in the intervening versions, though I’m not sure if it will get rid of your double-entry or not. But until you upgrade to at least v8.5.4 (the most recent version available in ?-menu’s Update Notepad++ action) orv8.5.5v8.5.6 (which has been announced/released, but hasn’t triggered auto-update yet), we cannot know if your particular problem has already been fixed. (update: critical v8.5.5-bug was fixed in v8.5.6, so changed links to that version; v8.5.5 not recommended)If updating does not fix your problem, please open a cmd.exe window in the
c:\program files\notepad++\directory and rundir /Sand paste the results of that command into your reply. -
@Nandini-CD
I would first fully Uninstall current N++ , then, as Peter says, install latest version https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/; if no help - his other tip. -
@PeterJones ok so what i understood is I have to update to latest version and see how it behaves. else run the cmd command and share the results
-
@PeterJones Thank you for sharing this. This fixed both the issues.

@Victorel-Petrovich Thank you for sharing this. I uninstalled the current version and downloaded the latest version and This fixed both the issues.
