OK, thanks for checking. This is the error you've already had before, described in the other topic linked from above.

Unfortunately, I still don't know what's causing the issue and had no success so far in replicating it on my test systems.

If the entry in the Explorer context menu is missing for you, you can try manual registration as outlined 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
