Did a little research. It's a Windows bug that the Share command appears in that menu because it cannot work. It's hard-coded to work only with File Explorer. So I will remove it from the menu.

Later, I will look into displaying the new context menu that I think started with Windows 11.

It works in the classic context menu using Total Commander under Windows 11.
The classic context menu It's shown the same way in XY but as you said doesn't work.
It's not a Windows bug as Total Commander and Free Commander can successfully use it
so XY should be able to use it too.

I assume they intercept the call and do what has to be done manually. Yes, that's another way I'm looking into.

The Share dialog from the context menu is the same
in TC and FC, so it is a system dialog.

Should the new Share item in the native context menu display when a folder is selected?
