Windows 10: SendTo shortcuts not working anymore

Hi,I have a few shortcuts added to shell:sendto. I use this to easily access provide file params to some programs i use, like for a diff tool. i click in two files choose sent to and then the diff tool and get the comparison shown. at least i used to have this. unfortunately this doesnt seem to work anymore, Im not sure if this is a general issue caused by some update or if its something local. I noticed it because the shortcut for the diff tool wasnt shown anymore in the send to context menu. i checked, but the shortcut file was still in shell:sendto. I experimented a little and noticed that

How to include OneNote in SendTo Context Menu in Windows 10

I have successfully added Evernote, OneDrive, etc. to the SendTo menu but was not successful for OneNote.

The steps I have taken are:

• 
  Make a shortcut of your folder on the desktop
  
• 
  Open the run window - WIN+R
  
• 
  Type shell:sendto into the run box. Then OK. That opens the sendto folder.
  
• 
  Drag your shortcut from the desktop into the sendto folder. Close the folder
  

I was able to perform the first 3 steps and was also able to drag the shortcut from the desktop into the sendto folder. However, when I right clicked a file and then Send to, I was not able to see the OneNote listed in the menu. (I can see OneNote, however,
listed in the place where I dragged the OneNote shortcut to.

Any idea why this is so?

"SendTo" list does not show recently added shortcut.

The way that I was connecting the shortcut to the menu was as follows.

I opened the start menu, found the app I wanted to add, right-clicked on the icon, selected More..., selected Open File Location.

Then, I copied and pasted the shortcut to the SendTo Menu. This will place the shortcut in the folder but it won't show up in the SendTo list.

Outlook 2010 is my default mail app and is configured for the current user profile. The user's mailbox lives on an Exchange 2010 server.

I clicked WindowsKey + R and typed shell:sendto which opened the folder of the SendTo menu. I added the shortcut for Microsoft Outlook 2010 to the folder and closed it. If I browse out the C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo, I
can see the shortcut for Microsoft Outlook 2010 sitting in there. All looks good...

But, when I right-click on a .JPG file in the Pictures folder and select the SendTo menu from the list, I don't see the Outlook icon in there. In fact, I do see icons in there for mapped drives which aren't in the SendTo folder when I browse out to it.

How can I add a shortcut for Outlook to my SendTo menu?
