Explorer context menu new items are missing

Question

Hi,

I am using Windows 11 and this started happening today.

When I right click, it shows the explorer right click context menu, which includes New. If I hover over that, it shows a bunch of different office apps to choose from. However, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is not in that list anymore. So I have to do this manually by opening PowerPoint > New. But weird, other apps like Publisher and Access are still there.

Is this a known issue?

If so, is there a fix?

Thanks in advance!
