Missing OneDrive context menu in windows 10
- Oct 13, 2020
donreak Hi there,
Our documentation changes with time and the article I previously mention is one of them.
For the OneDrive missing context menu we have now this one - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-change-the-user-account-control-policies-to-allow-onedrive-context-menus-1f957672-848d-48bb-bfe8-5af828613211
Hope this helps
PhillipM it will be UAC. Do you run Group Policy? If so Run gpresult on the PC to find where it is getting the wrong UAC settings. Then simply change that policy to like the article below.

Waddo People should stop propagating this as a solution, when it's neither a solution or the genesis.
What causes this is quite simple. A few months back, MS changed the way the installer works. Default settings now are per user, and not per machine. If you simply download the OneDrive installer, and instead of double clicking to install, go to the command line, run the installer like this: "OneDriveSetup.exe /allusers". Once you do that, reboot, and your context menu and all features will be back.
