Hi Florian,  
I've been using this for years and never really had any issues, but when I installed the last update I lost RMC Context menu, it is always checked on install but today it is gone.  
I have just installed the RC version and it's the same, so I uninstalled using Revo and deleted all my config files too.  
I had a version from June which I know was working perfectly last weekend as I tagged some albums and Audio Books, but even that has not added my context menu back ☹  
I have removed it again, and ran the installer, then the program as Admin to see if that fixed it, but again, still no context menu shows up when I RMC on a folder.  
I have run an RMC modifier and MP3TAG is not showing up at all.  
I am running Win11 Pro (22H2), have you had any issues with this? I did search the forum but did not see anything related to this issue.  
Thanks for any help you can offer 🙂

I found e.g. this thread:

> Hi All, I download the newest version, install it, but it is'nt visible in the context menu of Win11. So I install an older version of mp3tag, V2.76 and it is visible in the context menu if I right clic on a mp.3 file. I have this problem now with all the newest versions from 3.22 Han

More potential solutions here too.

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** :

```plaintext
cd <path to Mp3tag installation>
regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll

```

Thanks Florian, that fixed it - I've made a .bat file that can be run as Admin, it uses the default install path for x64 version - I hope it can help others 🙂
