BUG: Right click menu doesn't show the WinRAR option...

After we open XY, when we right click on a folder for the first time, the right click menu doesn't show the WinRAR option. As a workaround, we have to right click the folder a second time to make it show. Then it shows normally for the rest of the session until we exit XY. Please fix.
WinRAR 6
Win11

@Horst
note that it only happens once per session, until we exit XY. it repeats each time we open XY.

I was joking. This is a Windows bug. Cannot fix it.

Yes, I have read your post.
But here it never happens.
The WinRAR entry is always available.
Running the official, actual patched version of Windows 11.

i tested in windows file explorer, and it doesn't happen there. it only happens in XY, so it seems like an XY bug. have you been able to reproduce the bug?

On Win10 I have never seen the issue either, you haven't even mentioned if you are using the 32bit or x64 menu though.

Older versions of WinRAR had a problem with Windows 11 context menus
in x64 applications.
Actual versions have a setting "Legacy context menus"

Just because it works in Explorer doesn't automatically make it an XY bug, and since you keep just repeating yourself, instead of adding useful information, consider this topic closed.
