Hello Guys,

Recently updated notepad++ to version 8.5.2 and found there is duplicate entry of "Edit with Notepad++".

Any idea where / how can I remove the extra line?

Does this occur for files without an extension only?, files with a specific file extension? or all file extensions?
Does Windows Explorer show the duplicated context menu item?

Everything will pull context menu items from the registry in the following order:
.extension (for example .txt)
baseclass (for example: txtfile)
Folder (if the item is a folder)
* (if the item is a file)
AllFilesystemObjects



See if the context menu item is registered multiple times under any of the following registry keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.<extension>\shell (for example: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\shell)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\<baseclass>\shell (for example: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell)
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell

There is likely a folder under the shell folders called: Edit with Notepad++

That is a bug in Notepad++ 8.5.2 (link)

There might be an intermediate bugfix release that works for you, but if you wait it will sort itself out with the next npp version.
