Until recently, selecting some media files and right-clicking them would bring up a context menu including MP3Tag.
Now, for some reason, MP3Tag is no longer appearing on my Win11 PC, but does still show up on my Win10 machine.
It may be a local issue, but has anyone else had similar symptoms?

There are plenty of issues with Win11 and the context menu. There are several solutions that have been shared here.

I don't kow what's problem with Windows 11 with this issue!
I moved all needed Registry keys from other Windows 10 computer, but it still does not appear.
So, I tried "Send To" solution before I relize that is the only solution you have until now.
I hope you able to fix it as soon as possible.

This his not one of the recommended steps.
Have you tried the simplest variant:

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 \ regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll
