One Drive Context Menu Share Button Missing!
Good Day All,
So I manage an enterprise account which has one drive for business. Recently I have noticed that users complain about the "Share" Context Menu Item is missing! I can confirm it is missing and uninstalling and re-installing One drive Either Downloaded / from the microsoft store does not resolve the issue.
The button in question is the following:
I have tried some "Fixes" from the Infamous google search engine such as a registry edit to the following key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\ FileSyncEx]
@="{CB3D0F55-BC2C-4C1A-85ED-23ED75B5106B}"
And this one:

Yet nothing seems to get it back! Can any Microsoft Personel or those of you here just helping please help me before I lose myself slowly...
- I have this same exact issue, however its isolated to Windows 11. Searching some other post I see several resolved the issue by disabling UAC restarting and/or enabling UAC & restarting then however this did not work for me as I already had it disabled when I upgraded from Win10 to Win11.
I have the same problem in Windows 11. I tried every single solution I found in internet (except to delete the user and recreate it again) and nothing helped. It's just the buggy Microsoft software... At least I came to a workaround - I noticed that if I open the location of the OneDrive.lnk file and right-click on it some magic happens and the OneDrive context menu starts working. So I copied OneDrive.lnk to the root of my OneDrive folder, now when I right click it the functionality comes back.
Microsoft, it's a shame - your own cloud service doesn't work correctly on your own OS!nassoo I'll likely get this escalated with Microsoft directly since we haven't heard anything back from the community forum with any of the official Microsoft personnel. Unfortunately, I have to speak with our managed service provider to do the escalation since I am not a global admin in our Microsoft Admin Center. I have a meeting with them today so I will raise the question. They have multiple clients... somebody must have reported the same symptoms. I'll keep you posted with what I learn later on today.
- Jack,
Have you given that resolution provided by Alexander a try? Hi,
I would like to chip in on this one. I have tried couple of proposed solutions, like disabling UAC and adding the OneDrive shortcut - nothing worked.
What did work is reinstalling OneDrive. First I disconnected the OneDrive account inside OneDrive Settings. Went to control panel, uninstall it, downloaded the newest version from microsoft, installed it, waited a bit to update itself, logon and voila - it was there. I am using Windows 11 22H2 and I had a lot of programs that made their way to the right-click menu, like vlc, pdf x-change editor. I think that the registry needed a refresh. Hope this helps.Tonito_Dux appreciate that. I did not reinstall. Thank you so much.
