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:

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.
