Hi, sorry your briefcase was stolen. *chuckle

I suggest the following with no guarantee as to whether it works (I can't try it in the CU as I use the AU).
The relevant reg file is provided as a zipped download.
Further, if it works now, there's no guarantee it would continue to do so in future builds.

Briefcase won't appear in menu

See:

Briefcase suddenly showing up as only folders on one W10 computer, but OK on another. Can't

get any Briefcase on any flash to work on home desktop suddenly (Dell). Worked fine forever, I think I clicked on something when it prompted what options I had with the USB whatever. Suddenly, only folders.

Reformatted, swapped BFC's on different computers, etc., and no success.

No luck, either, with regular suggested tweaks - i.e. enable briefcase registry with

and

Add Briefcase to New Context Menu in Windows 10

Unless I missed a step. But I've tried both a couple times, rebooted, refreshed, etc., and no BFC in context menu. Works on other W10 computer (older Toshiba laptop).

So can't sync or update, and it's stiflingly aggravating.

Thanks.
