AVG Shredder not showing in the Windows Context Menu box

I have renewed my subscription today for AVG Internet Security to expired in 10/2027.

I downloaded the new version and activated my subscription. But now the AVG Data Shredder is not showing in the Windows Context Menu as it did before I renewed the subcription.

I have checked the box in the ‘Data Shredder’ menu to add the shredder to the Windows Context Menu, but it does not appear in the Context Menu when I try to use it.

I unchecked the box and did a restart……it was not there. Then I checked the box again, did a restart and it is still not there.

So the question is how do I get the Data Shredder it to appear in the Windows Context Menu so I can use it.

IS THERE SOMEONE WHO CAN ANSWER THIS……….OR DO AVG NEED TO DO AN UPGRADE TO THEIR INTERNET SECURITY SYSTEM

I’m having the same problem, which started today. Went to shred the recycle bin files, only to find the option had randomly disappeared.

I removed AVG using AVG Clear, reinstalled, restarted… still missing.

The Context Menu option in AVG is enabled, so I can’t see any reason for it not to be there.

Such a stupid problem, most likely with a very easy fix that AVG doesn’t seem to be doing anything about.

My data shredder is visible but I keep getting this error. I have tried repairing which works once then it doesn’t again. Annoying.
