After updating to this version I no longer see power toys options like the +NEW or the PowerRename. I restarted my computer and ran this in user and Admin mode to see if it corrects itself but it did not. Basically the Explorer options are missing. Mapped keys work fine.

Wonder if old packages are still around. Can you please run this in PowerShell and check if the context menus are on 0.88.0 or on an older version?

Get-AppxPackage -Name *powertoys*

/needinfo

It is strange it is Version : 0.86.0.0 but in windows installed apps it said 0.88.0, what can i do?

Thanks.

@jaimecbernardo Mine shows Version 0.87.1.0 but similar to @WebAtelier47, my installed version is 0.88.0

EDTED:

• .FileLocksmithContextMenu = 1.0.0.0
• ImageResizerContextMenu = 0.83.0.0
• PowerRenameContextMenu = 0.83.0.0
• NewPlusContextMenu = 0.87.1.0

Thinking a workaround might work here, as in : #35210 (comment)

In PowerShell, verify this only gets packages related to PowerToys:

Get-AppxPackage -Name *powertoys*

Delete all PowerToys related MSI packages:

Get-AppxPackage -Name *powertoys* | Remove-AppxPackage

Run this again to make sure they were deleted:

Get-AppxPackage -Name *powertoys*

After that, in PowerToys Settings, Disable and Enable the utilities again and they will try to install the right package.
A Explorer restart might be needed.

Please let me know if this works.
