Daniel Teixeira Thank you. This is a nice article but it does not seem to be relevant for our problem.
The "Save files locally" is missing. I did not see that in the article.

Is it possible the client itself can be configured to not run in elevated rights? Seems like an issue with the OneDrive application itself

Simply change the UAC settings to On or higher. Restart the Machine, check share is back. Then set UAC to your desired settings.

Changing UAC settings worked for me - thanks Jabiru
Both One Drives were working and syncing (personal and business), but the context menus to choose online/offline etc were missing.
Ran User Account Settings, and changed from Never Notify (must have had it on for some development work) to a higher setting and context menu is back.
