Missing OneDrive context menu in windows 10
- Oct 13, 2020
donreak Hi there,
Our documentation changes with time and the article I previously mention is one of them.
For the OneDrive missing context menu we have now this one - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-change-the-user-account-control-policies-to-allow-onedrive-context-menus-1f957672-848d-48bb-bfe8-5af828613211
Hope this helps
Waddo Thanks for this advice as enabling UAC worked for me. Context menus are now present.
No need to re-enable UAC.
- Open Programs and Features
- Remove Onedrive
- Download latest Onedrive installer (use Google/Bing to look for link)
- Use cmd/powershell to install it with "OneDriveSetup.exe /AllUsers"
- It'll start syncing and show the context menu just fine with UAC off
Glad I found the switch here and glad I don't have to use UAC.
I hate UAC.

BallsOfSteel420 This simple solution worked for me; thank you. If I may, it is even simpler; you don't have to uninstall OneDrive at all. Just quit the running instance, then run the command
# I'm using PowerShell Core .\OneDriveSetup.exe /AllUsers

Speier could you help me to install the one drive file downloaded from the link you provided via cmd. The .exe file is located in my downloads section in C I am just an average computer and i am not savvy in using cmd. Please help

BallsOfSteel420 Great find, thanks for sharing. That worked for me. I can't help with your hate issues for the UAC 😉
For those who might not be familiar with Powershell, you will need to run the command that BallsOfSteel420 mentioned as ".\onedrivesetup.exe /AllUsers"
