Anyone else? Have rebooted, no change

Thanks

There is a post in the FAQs ...

> 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

Yup - restarted Explorer, that didn't work, rebooted, that didn't work. Manual register worked - many thanks!
