Windows 10: New context menu - missing new excel worksheet?

Hi, after upgrading to new version of office (from 2013 to 2016) i have no new excel worksheet in new(folder) of context menu. Could please somebody help me out on this?

I followed Shaun s tutorial for removing and reinstating New context menu https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/add-or-remove-new-context-menu-in-windows-10.6975/

I have also noticed that some programs report that i have more items in the new context menu than i really have! Is this normal?
Here are the pictures to prove that:







Thanks for the time, .

i no longer have the option New in right click so cannot create new folders

I asked Google for you like so:

new option missing from context menu

and it pointed me immediately to this detailed guide:

Restore missing NEW context menu item in Explorer

The 'create shortcut' is actually under a sub-menu called "New" (new > shortcut). If that's missing, this tool will help you put it back: http://www.sevenforums.com/attachme...menu-items-shortcut_new_context_menu_item.zip

 

Hello Sol, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Yeah, that tutorial will only restore the default New context menu items.

The .reg file below should restore the Microsoft Excel Worksheet New context menu item for Office 2016.

Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xlsx\Excel.Sheet.12\ShellNew] "FileName"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Root\\VFS\\Windows\\ShellNew\\excel12.xlsx"[/quote]
New_Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet.reg

 

New_Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet.reg[/quote] Thanks for the answer, but still the same problem... I have office x64 installation so have changed to C:\\Program Files\M...
but to no avail...
I didn't tell i also tried quick, full repair and installing again from scratch but nothing!?

 

Sol,

Try uninstalling both the Office 2013 and 2016 using the Fix it Tool or manually from Microsoft below to make sure that both Office and 2013 and 2016 are fully uninstalled. Afterwards, see if reinstalling 2016 again will have it working again.

Uninstall Office 2013, Office 2016, or Office 365 from a Windows computer - Microsoft Office

 

OK i ved it! Using right click enhancer program i noticed that the .xlsx key was missing! (but in the regedit he was still present!) i deleted the .xlsx key from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and than repaired office installation. Everything works fine now*Smile

Shaun thanks for the time and inspiration, regards !

 

Sol,
To confirm, I had exactly the same problem and your solution worked for me as well.

• delete .xlsx registry key completely (after backing it up by exporting)
• Repair Office 2016 from the "Uninstall or change a program"

Thanks because that has been annoying me for a while now.
