Describe the bug File Converter context menu does not appear after successful install.

Workaround After restarting explorer (or your computer) the menu does appear.

Expected behavior After a successful install, File Converter should appear in the context menu of the Windows Explorer.

I just updated and this is indeed quite the unfortunate bug lol. I think I read that this new version would let me convert files without changing the modified date so I was excited to update since that would be nice for how I browse through my files.

I have the same problem but somehow solved it, in my case (win11). When i install the update, the shortcut to convert files disappear then i restarted my file explorer, still context menu didn't appear. So i did open the fileconverter setup again and choose 'repair', after that i restarted my file explorer again... and there is.
