Missing menu item when right-clicking taskbar shortcut for calc or writer then right-clicking file

When right-clicking on a calc or writer shortcut in the taskbar you will see your pinned and recent files. Then, when right-clicking one of the files, you get still more options. Before my last install (of both LO & Windows), one of the options I would get is to take me to (or open) the folder containing the file I right-clicked on. This option is no long there, no matter what I have tried.
Suggestions or fixes?

Yes also with me you can not open a folder.
I don’t know if it was like this before, because I don’t use this function at all.
However, it is noticeable that the selection is identical for files of all programs when right-clicking on a file.
So it should not be a problem of LibreOffice, but of Windows.


With me:

Hrbrgr. This has been an available context option for as long as I recall.

The Context menu for the taskbar still offers me Open file location. Note that this is a Windows menu, not LibreOffice.

You could see if there is an optional update lurking in Start Menu > Settings > Windows Update. I recently applied an optional one as I thought it might fix an error I was seeing.

Otherwise, if you like living on the edge, then this 3rd party site might help, Add or Remove "Open file location" and "Open folder location" context menu in Windows Tutorial | Windows 11 Forum
