New context menu - missing new excel worksheet?

Hi, after upgrading to new version of office (from 2013 to 2016) i have no new excel worksheet in new(folder) of context menu. Could please somebody help me out on this?

I followed Shaun s tutorial for removing and reinstating New context menu https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8012-new-context-menu-add-remove-windows-10-a.html

I have also noticed that some programs report that i have more items in the new context menu than i really have! Is this normal?
Here are the pictures to prove that:

Thanks for the time, Sol.

Hello Sol, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

Yeah, that tutorial will only restore the default New context menu items.

The .reg file below should restore the Microsoft Excel Worksheet New context menu item for Office 2016.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xlsx\Excel.Sheet.12\ShellNew]
"FileName"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Root\\VFS\\Windows\\ShellNew\\excel12.xlsx"

New_Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet.reg

Thanks for the answer, but still the same problem... I have office x64 installation so have changed to C:\\Program Files\M...
but to no avail...
I didn't tell i also tried quick, full repair and installing again from scratch but nothing!?

Sol,

Try uninstalling both the Office 2013 and 2016 using the Fix it Tool or manually from Microsoft below to make sure that both Office and 2013 and 2016 are fully uninstalled. Afterwards, see if reinstalling 2016 again will have it working again.

Uninstall Office 2013, Office 2016, or Office 365 from a Windows computer - Microsoft Office

OK i solved it! Using right click enhancer program i noticed that the .xlsx key was missing! (but in the regedit he was still present!) i deleted the .xlsx key from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and than repaired office installation. Everything works fine now:)

Shaun thanks for the time and inspiration, regards Sol!

Sol,
To confirm, I had exactly the same problem and your solution worked for me as well.

1. delete .xlsx registry key completely (after backing it up by exporting)
2. Repair Office 2016 from the "Uninstall or change a program"

Thanks because that has been annoying me for a while now.

A note to Sol and 74. I had the same problem (missing excel in the New menu) after installing Office 365 in new WIN10. So I:
deleted the .xlsx registry key completely (after backing it up by exporting)
Repaired Office 365 ProPlus using the "Change" from the "Uninstall or change a program"
Great tip. Thanks all of you for making my WIN10 life easier.
