I appreciate this is probably working for other people as this issue is closed - #1060

Highly possible that it's a quirk of my local setup and apologies if so - any hints on how I can configure this manually would be really helpful.

This is gonna sound dumb, but does restarting fix this? Sometimes explorer.exe doesn't always refresh it's cache of context menus.

[drk-mtr]

Not dumb at all, this is exactly the kind of mistake I'd make. Unfortunately restarting doesn't refresh this for me.

Cheers for the ultra fast response by the way!

I am having the same issue, with this 22000.376 build. Was this fixed for you @drk-mtr ?

[drk-mtr]

@ashfaqnisar I still have no context menu unfortunately, however I haven't tried uninstalling / reinstalling since raising this. I suspect no progress has been made just yet, as the issue hasn't been updated, so it's probably a "watch this space".

Same issue here. It worked for a long time but disappeared a few days ago. I really miss it! Windows Terminal 1.11.3471.0. Windows 11 (Build 22000.376)

If I right-click empty space in explorer, not in context menu. If I right-click a folder, it is in the context menu.

@KeenRivals, I think this build(22000.376) removed that option from the context menu ?

I've actually had this issue on Windows 10 some time ago. It looks like people are complaining about the same thing since June 22 in #10496

Having the same issue as @KeenRivals also on 22000.376. The strange thing is, it only happens on a new device I've recently purchased (which upgrades from 22000.9 directly to 22000.376). Another device, also on 22000.376, does not have this issue.

This should be related to #11839, which indicates as a bug in explorer shell extension.

Same issue as @codgician here, 22000.376 build on a new machine has no context menu in blank area or on selected files, only available when a folder is selected. Old machine that was upgraded to 22000.376 seems to work fine.

This repo is great for this. Highly recommend. I think they should pull this into the official build

I have the same problem on 22000.527. I should note that I have two user accounts, one is an admin and the other isn't. There are no issues on the admin account, but I don't get the context menu on the non-admin account unless I right-click a folder specifically.

I have the same problem with you.

Hey sorry all, this fell out of the triage queue somehow. From the reports here this does sound like a /duplicate of #11839, thanks!
