Always keep on this device - Missing

OneDrive right click 'Always keep on this device' option is missing from my files options in Windows 11 (OS Build 22000.176). How can I get that back again?

    LalithaPutra I can confirm this is no longer an issue. It was resolved a few Windows 11 versions ago. 🙂

    Just wondering if there is any resolution to this issue? i'm staggered by the absence of this option and also by the fact that Windows/File Directory response time when selecting, clicking, double-clicking and right menu selection is pathetically slow.

      youie 

      I haven't had any resolution yet. While it is a pain not having that option in the right click context menu, the extreme slowness of file explorer in general use is almost impossible to live with. It is wasting such a lot of time just waiting for folders to open.

        HGS56283 thanks for the reply. I'm hoping that we aren't the only ones on this planet with this issue and that Microsoft are working 24/7 to resolve this. Cheers.

    HGS56283 Hi, does anyone know of any fixes to this. I know only 6 weeks has passed but in my slightly naive way, I'm thinking that's more than enough time to sort this out?

    I came a cross this earlier today. In messing about with settings the options have returned but don't yet know if this is a permanent thing or until I look away haha. Here's what I did.

    In OneDrive settings, Settings tab, untick the Files on Demand option. Everything then started to download, so perhaps pause sync before doing this.

    After a few minutes the expected OneDrive options appeared. I went back and re-ticked the Files on Demand box and the the options are still there, in fact they are now appearing in the right click menu without having to go to the Show more options.

        youie sorry to hear that.

         

        I have noticed since earlier that the right click menu has begun to change to show those things I regularly use. I was just fortunate I guess.

      This fixed the issue for me just as OP described. All is normal operation again. GordonHB

    It's still an issue for the Personal Vault folders. I see "Always keep on this device" for files but not for folders.
