Hello, I installed the latest version (had previous ones where it worked) as admin, the context menu option was checked, but it's no longer showing, any idea how this can be fixed? Anyone else with this problem?

I have a workaround with the "open with" section but still would be nice to get it back in the main, thank you!

> 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
