Hello,  
I have just installed MP3Tag version 327 on my Windows 11 operating system. However, the MP3Tag line in the context menu which allows you to launch the application directly has disappeared.  
Reverting to the previous version corrected this problem.  
Can you fix it, if it's from the software.  
Yours sincerely

You can follow these instructions:

> Right-click context menu is missing on Windows 11 Assuming you've already restarted explorer.exe via the right-click context menu in Task Manager (or have rebooted Windows), this is happening sometimes on Windows 11 for reasons which I still trying to find out. What might help in those cases and when the classic context menu is preferred, is to manually register the shell extension from a command prompt with admin rights: cd \<path to Mp3tag installation\> regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll

In fact the problem came from the fact that I use the classic W10 menu.  
The problem is fixed with your solution  
THANK YOU
