@ikloecker yes as mentioned in my response the current hints are only for symmetric.
well, when creating openPGP keys with kleopatra I did not see any hints. I do not think that the issue would be vaild for password based encryption. There the common usecase is autogeneration, anyway
The long hint is "hidden" in the tooltip of the short hint.
And the issue for which @ebo opened this ticket is in my opinion that you have to fail first before you see the hint.

I think there was a misunderstanding here. We already set .pinentry.constraints.hint.long and .pinentry.constraints.hint.short in GnuPG-VSD but firstly they are only about symmetric.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand gnupg-w32 is mainly for installing the command line component, yet adding a context menu for a specific file type is just as simple as importing a reg file like:

It is related in the following way:
The Gpg4win installer creates these context menu actions through the component GpgEX.
The Gpg4win installer does not support Windows XP anymore.
What I need is exactly ikloecker described on Linux. The point is NSIS installer gnupg-w32-2.2.27_20210111.exe (and versions above, I am sure) do not create context menu shortcut. Windows XP is not the point. Same on another Windows 7 machine. Do you need I find another windows 10 machine to test? I think it's easier to check whether the installer has that feature or not.

No support for Windows XP anymore.
Sorry, I should clarify that I am using the windows installer
gnupg-w32-2.2.27_20210111.exe on WindowsXpSp3. The installer do not create
any context menu since I use it. I use Gnupg with Enigmail in Thunderbird,
so Gpg4win is not preferred.

This is a hard to solve problem in the NSIS installer: If you accidently started more than one installer they may both register files for update at the next restart. Now after the restart the file which is to be renamed does not anymore exist and thus a component or even library is not available. In this case it is GpgEX, the explorer plugin.
