Re: Context menu "Share" and others....
I doubt you'll be able to use ARM versions of those softwares with x64 XY if that is what you are doing.

Re: Context menu "Share" and others....
I guess it doesn't matter much with x64 on our doorstep, but I didn't realize the VB x32 bit version actually worked on ARM. Are you talking about a Snapdragon chips like those in Windows Surface Pro and some of their laptops?
Re: Context menu "Share" and others....
of course it was working, pretty well
Surface pro 11, the arm version
Snapdragon(R) X 10-core X1P64100 @ 3.40 GHz

But still the share menu is not working

I don't know, maybe previously you were using 7zip x86, not 7z ARM64. For it to show in XY64 context menu I assume you'd need to install 7z x64, and please don't reply it already works in Explorer, that is because your OS is ARM64 not x64, you will probably need both versions installed/registry_entries to get menu in both.
Share menu is a known issue, keep in mind you are using very first initial betas of the x64 version, there has been no first release yet.

i know its the first initial beta, im following this app since years now.
and i already had some issue with compatibility between arm and x64 i know that.
im just telling my experience and how it was working. that's all
thanks for your help
and im pretty sure i was using arm64 or x64 version, and not x86
"that is because your OS is ARM64 not x64, you will probably need both versions installed/registry_entries to get menu in both" => so u mean i should have x64 AND Arm64 version installed ? never tried that
Re: Context menu "Share" and others....
I am not taking "it" personally, I am just letting you know when you report Share is not working on the 14th, and then say its "still" not working on the 15th, give a little time for a resolution.
Well you might have been using 7z x64 with the x64 menu in the past not x86 that is true, or 7z x64 with only the x86 shell addon, but yes I am saying AFAIK you currently need 7z x64 to get it shown in the XY64 ctx menu, it's up to you if you want both installed. Make sure you have "Integrate 7-Zip to shell context menu" enabled in the Options dialog of x64 7z, and restart XY if not the OS.
I should add that I am not 100% familiar with all the newest arm emulation/virtualization that is available in the latest os and hardware.
