PowerToysReport_2023-12-12-06-41-33.zip I updated to the latest version, restarted my desktop, tried PowerRename again by selecting multiple files to rename and the option doesn't show up on the context menu. I then created this bug report.

I can also reproduce this issue on my machine, power rename doesn't show up in either the default context menu or the extended one. PowerToys 0.77 on Windows 11, running as both admin and normal user. I've attached my bug report PowerToysReport_2024-01-16-21-11-35.zip

Have the same issue with the latest update - 0.82.0. Expected - Should show in the default and extended context menu. Bug - Does not show in the default context menu. (22H2) image

Has it ever worked on W11? I thought it was some limitation we just had to live with. I've been using PowerToys for about six months (updating when it's possible) and I've never seen PowerRename in the default context menu (despite having selected "Show PowerRename in Default and extended context menu"). Always only in the extended context menu.

Right now I'm on: Windows 11 Home 10.0.22631 PowerToys 0.82.1
