I had a working release 3.30 with context menu working in the explorer on a mp3 file. The MP3tag context menu is no longer visible.
I de-installed and reinstalled releases 3.29 and 3.30 in 64 and 32 bit versions.
No change, the context menu entry disappeared.
Drag & drop of mp3 files still works, so I suspect a change in the explorer extension mechanism or such.
I use this feature a lot, so I really miss it.

You would have to check in Help\>About if you have a standard or a portable installation.
Then see if the FAQs about the shell extension help 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 \ regsvr32 Mp3tagShell.dll

Hello ohrenkino,
yes, I have restarted win11 warm and cold, no change.
I have the installed 64bit version in use.
I could register the explorer extension by hand successfully.
Thank you for your immediate help.
