MPC-BE Explorer extension gone

[tigerman8u]

I lost the explorer extension for MPC-BE. I used to right click on a file or DVD folder on PC and I could choose to play with MPC-BE. This seems to have started when I got a new Laptop and updated to Windows 11. I tried reinstalling MPC-BE and even installing an older version. Anybody else have this issue ?

Windows 11 moved a lot of things that were previously on the context menu to a sub-menu that is accessed by selecting "Show More Options". However, MPC-BE doesn't appear on the sub-menu and has to be selected via "open with" on the sub-menu although, unfortunately, "open with" isn't available for folders. I also use VLC, which does appear on the sub-menu, so apparently, MPC-BE's developers have not made the necessary changes for Windows 11.

Are you talking about the context mneu which can be installed during installation or the ones which are in options -> player -> formats -> right lower corner -> the two checkboxes?

The Devs have already made a change in commits which is about the big vs. little "round corners" in right click menu, so I doubt they don't tested context menu.

I went here options -> player -> formats -> right lower corner -> the two checkboxes ,but the two boxes were greyed out. I clicked modify and then was able to check the "Explorer context menu" two icons Directory and Files. This worked, I now have the Explorer extention when I right click on a DVD folder.
Thanks guys.
