Windows 11: Map Network Drive missing from context menu – January 21, 2023 at 01:49PM

I’m not certain this did not present itself until after the 22H2 update, but Right-Clicking on This PC no longer offers a ‘Map Network Drive’ or ‘Disconnect Network Drive’ option.

I’ve tried all the suggested answers wrt the registry such as disabling the key that allows admins to specifically hide those options from users, but to no avail (e.g. Add or Remove “Map network drive” and “Disconnect network drive” context menu in Windows 11 Tutorial) I can map/disconnect drives from the command prompt using Net Use but not via the GUI.

Whether I Right-Click on This PC or Network, ‘Map Network Drive’ is not in the context menu.

I have done a full non-destructive re-installation of Windows 11 without any change in the outcome of the menu.
