From comparing v0.67 and v.0.67.1 release I found that one registry key was moved form HKCU to HKCR.
I found the way to enable ImageResizer in context menu:

• open notepad
• paste the code bellow

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\ImageResizer]
@="{51B4D7E5-7568-4234-B4BB-47FB3C016A69}"

• save the file with .reg extension (e.g. imageResizerFix.reg)
• double click the file
  • require admin privileges
  • will show a pop up window if you want to apply changes - click Yes

Tested on Windows 10 22H2.
This is NOT a proper fix, following PowerToys updates will have the same bug (unless it will be fixed).

Tested on Windows 10 22H2. This is NOT a proper fix, following PowerToys updates will have the same bug (unless it will be fixed).

I found in ImageResizer Manifest - Class Id="8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF" , so I tried to .reg DropHandler by

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\ImageResizer]
@="{8F491918-259F-451A-950F-8C3EBF4864AF9}"

@daoneandonly can you try restarting your PC and see if the Image Resizer is still missing? /needinfo
