One Drive Context Menu Share Button Missing!
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 Hi, where would I expect to find the onedrive.lnk file? I've searched for onedrive.lnk in file explorer and nothing shows up.
MAS-PLK HI, yes I thought it would just be a shortcut but I don't have one. If I create one the target is "C:\Users\xxxxx\OneDrive" is that the target that is in the shortcut mentioned in this thread? If so it doesn't work for me or is the target something that OneDrive created when installed?
Thanks
- You are correct. That shortcut target should be the OneDrive directory under the users directory. That was all I did was create the shortcut & placed it in the root of the OneDrive directory. I may have restarted my computer & what not & I also completed the other steps they mentioned above but yes, that was all I simply did was create the shortcut, shorten the name to remove the "- shortcut" part & place it in the directory.
