Notepad++ Now Works Better on Windows 11
Microsoft could have gone this route for adding Acrylic/Mica to the context menu, but no, in classic fashion they had to overdo something new and half-ass it at the same time.

Super slow & laggy context menu (Windows 11 22H2)
You can still restore the old context menu via registry hack, and if you want to keep the acrylic aesthetic you can use acrylic menus, startallback (paid but has a 100 day free trial and it has many many other features) and Nilesoft Shell (it requires you to read the documentation to customize it though, so not that user friendly but it looks the best out of the three imo)
