The Windows 11 Pro File Explorer right click context menu is missing OneDrive View Online and OneDrive Version History?

The context menu does list the following...

    I've just been investigating this myself. A report in a school of the context menu missing the OneDrive additions.

    Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the task tray and 'View online'. This launched a browser but I needed to auth with my MS account. Once I signed in I returned to File Explorer and the context menus returned.

    So my line of investigation is now whether this is related to those above saying 'you are not signed into OneDrive'. I can see the client is signed in but the browser was not.

    That is exactly what I was saying when I said "Login to OneDrive." I'm on an enterprise account, and whenever we have a required password update, I have noticed that there are instances where OneDrive is logged out. Usually, you can tell if you tell OneDrive to log in. Also, when I had the issue, I could see the OneDrive icon in my task tray, but I noticed that when I opened it, I was not logged in.

    My OneDrive users are definitely logged in though and the icon shows its signed in. Intune/GPO is pushing the 'Silently Sign In' command and that's working.

    Just been playing with Chrome SSO and when I launch View online from the OneDrive client in the task tray I now have it launching a browser and SSO happening, no auth request. Not fixed the lack of File Explorer context menus though :(

    Dear AjN3806,
    did you manage to fix the problem? I have tried everything suggested in this forum (and elsewhere) and still don´t see my OneDrive in the context menu.
    Thank you,
    Mareike

    I opened a case with MS but as I created the message my test machine suddenly showed the context menu after around 20 mins of being logged in. Just all of a sudden and only on that 1 machine.

    MS said "well it's fixed" so closed the ticket. It's not fixed, its either not working or not reliable.
