SSMS Object Explorer Details context menu scarcely populating

Question

In SSMS object explorer details, when I view object explorer details and click on the headers row, the context menu shows only name and Policy Health status. Most of my tables only have a couple of columns (I'm only just starting on SQL), but said context menu behaves no differently when I have selected, in the GUI, a table that has about six columns.

If I select tables in the System node and then view object explorer details, I find the context menu gives many more options (albeit not as many as I saw in a tutorial video).

I have tried repairing and reinstalling SSMS. I am the owner and admin so should have all permissions (and believe I do). For good measure I visited properties for the Database and clicked every box in the grant column.

Seems there must be some setting I'm missing. I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Answer 1

Exactly what columns that are available depends on where you are. If you go up one level, you should see a lot more:

But when I click a table to see the folders Columns, Keys etc, I only have Name and Policy Health State. The other columns above are not applicable on this level.
