Windows 10: Sharing to Instagram

When I open Photos or any Photo app in my Windows 10 computer and try to share the app for Instagram has disappeared. I have used this feature frequently but as of a few days ago it is just not there. I can't send a pic of the app choices so I sent this photo.



The Instagram app was there forever and just is not anymore. How can I link it back into the share options?
