OneDrive Context Menu Missing on Windows 11
- Apr 24, 2025
We also had this issue in our environment. For us, it was the following two registry values that blocked the OneDrive context menu:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx\AllowDevelopmentWithoutDevLicense
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Appx\AllowAllTrustedAppsAfter deleting these, the Windows Explorer process and OneDrive need to be restarted.
Apparently, this issue also existed back then with Teams, see the following link: fix-new-teams-installation-issues
I've had the same issue for months now and have been pulling my hair out to try and figure out which Intune policy is the one removing the menu. I tried what you did and removed the registry entries and uninstalled and reinstalled OneDrive and it didn't come back. Was there anything else you found or was that it?
I'm certain the menu goes away when OneDrive updates as I've had it installed for a few weeks with the menu in tact but it updated on the 18th and went away again. I'm going to remove all policies and reinstall to get the menu back and then apply the policies again without the two you mention and hope that does it.

Thanks Josci, this is the fix applicable for my case.
I've deleted the key and waiting to see if it reverts back to them (bother were present with value 0).

Awesome, these two keys fixed it for me when the others wouldn't.
Thanks!
