I installed MP3TAG on my Surface Pro 11 from the store. There is nothing in the file explorer context menu. Any hints how to add MP3TAG so it shows up with music folders?  
Thank you

AFAIK, this would require an ARM-based shell extension, which doesn't exist yet.

Thanks. Do you plan to add this in the future?

Yes. Can you in the meantime try this workaround and check if manual registration adds the missing context-menu entry on ARM-based Windows 11?

> 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

This doesn't help (or I miss the correcz syntas)

The linked workaround refers to the standard installation and you seem to have installed via the Windows Store.

I doubt it works anyway, so better leave it at this.

Thanks for your efforts. I wait for a future solution to address this problem with ARM64 systems.  
Mp3tag is an excellant tool, thanks for devekoping and improving it.

Dear Developer, any news regarding an ARM64 version or support of Mp3tag in Exolorer Context Menu on such machines?

Still no full support for Windows-on-ARM64. It runs nice in emulation mode but lacks integration in explorer's context menu

Similar issue here.  
I also have Windows on Arm, [restored the classic right-click context menu on Windows](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/restore-old-right-click-context-menu-in-windows-11/a62e797c-eaf3-411b-aeec-e460e6e5a82a), have installed Mp3tag 64-bit, and did not initially have the Mp3tag extension in the right-click menu. I opened a cmd prompt with administrator privileges, and ran the following two commands:

> cd C:\Program Files\Mp3tag  
> regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll

Now I see Mp3tag in the right click menu, but clicking on it does not open the Mp3tag program.  
Other than that tiny bit, thank you for the great software Florian. Have sent donations in past since it's so useful. Keep up the great work.

I've just released [Mp3tag v3.29a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) which comes with an ARM64 Explorer context-menu extension.
