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?

    Has this issue been rectified. Unfortunately, we heavily use OneDrive and Windows Explorer synchronisation to govern the efficient of our Doucment Control and functionality throughout our business. This is a significant set back.

      Unfortunately this has not been rectified. Option to 'Always keep on this device' still not available for me and File Explorer is extremely slow. On one of my computers I ended up reinstalling Windows 10, which works perfectly. Is a pity as Windows 11 is great in many other respects.

    HGS56283 Yes, same here. Some files and folders  have the option, others down. 
    I cannot figure out the logic behind or a work around so far.

    I had the same experience. Then I selected the "Show more options" menu item, had a look there, and unfortunately the "Always keep on this device" was absent here too. So I left clicked out of the menu for it to close and right clicked on another folder. This time the option list was much longer and it did include the "Always keep on this device" option! Since then all my OneDrive folders and files have the correct right-click menu.
