Describe what you noticed and did

I had to revert to version 1.18.0 of Sandboxie-Plus because in later versions, the 'Run in Sandbox' option no longer appears in the Windows 11 context menu. The configuration is the same in all versions; I have the "Add 'Run in Sandbox' to the Explorer context menu" box checked, as shown in the attached image.

So I'd like to know if this is an option that's been removed from Sandboxie-Plus even though it still appears in the program's preferences, or perhaps it's a bug or some other problem with these latest versions. Regards...

How often did you encounter it so far?

It always happens.

Expected behavior

It should appear in the context menu when you right-click on any executable or executable shortcut, as shown in the image, in this case version 1.18.0.
