I am using Excel 2016 on Windows 10. Today, the "Insert comment" option disappeared from the right-click pop-up context menu. When I right-click on a cell with no comment, there is no option to add one. If I right-click on a cell with a comment, I can edit or delete the comment. On the Insert tab of the ribbon, the Comments section is grayed out. This problem is affecting all spreadsheets that I have tried.
I googled the problem and tried every solution offered but none of them worked. How can I add comments to cells again?
Thank you

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
The exact same thing also happened to me. In Excel file, from right click on cell, Insert Comment feature from the context menu has been disappeared. This been happened since last 4 days. There is no change to my computer. My issue is same as original poster .
Same issue for me. Just appeard.
Is there a fix for this? Or is the insert comment moved?
I have build 1903
It worked with combination of shift+ F2
It did work using your suggestion. Still not as convient as the right click but still a good work around
Thanks
I've had exactly the same issue this morning. Surely Microsoft have to respond again when it's affecting so many people? I know - I'm just a hopeless romantic.....
