Onerive context menu missing

Question

The context menu (right click) with the "Share/View Online/Always Keep On This Device" options is missing on one of my computers for some reason. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling OneDrive, but that didn't fix it. I also tried the solutions from the Microsoft support page:

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

OneDrive.exe is not elevated, but I can't use the solution suggested in the "Elevated is No" tab because I'm using Windows Home and don't have secpol.msc. Out of curiosity, I tried reinstalling OneDrive using the /allusers command (suggested in the "Elevated is Yes" tab) and it didn't fix it. I also tried a regedit solution and it didn't work: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/127208-add-remove-move-onedrive-context-menu-windows-10-a.html There weren't any entries in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked" so there was nothing for me to delete.

If it's related to the issue at all, I would like to mention that the OneDrive account that I'm logged into is a different Microsoft account from the Windows user account that I'm currently using.

We can try a repair install to eliminate a corruption issue.

Try doing a repair install. A repair Install keeps everything, including Files and applications, and reinstalls Windows.
