Windows 11 folders no longer option to 'play in MM' with MM5 (or MM2024)

I've recently upgraded from MM4 to MM5 on a Windows 11 computer. MM4 always offered the option to 'Play in Media Monkey' when right clicking on a sub-folder (eg a complete album in one sub-folder), but that option is no longer there since I upgraded to MM5. I have now even tried the latest MM 2024 debug, but there's still no option to 'play in MM 2024' for a whole folder!

I've now set MM 2024 as the default player for mp3, flac and wav files, but can only select individual files within a folder, or the whole album by 'shift + select' then right clicking, which then offers 'play in MM 2024', however the last file always plays first (which has annoyingly always happened in all versions of MM!), without further necessary amendment! There isn't even an option to play a whole folder through MM's own 'Open URL or File...' option!

This is much less efficient (and more time consuming) than simply right clicking and playing the whole folder. I just want to play each album in its correct order by playing the folder in MM. Is there a fix please?

This does work for me in MM2024. I can right click a folder, selct play in mmm, and it appears to play in the current sort order.
Now to find the right settings to make it work for you.

Under options, general, OS integration, do you have checkmark next to "show context menu actions..."
