TortoiseGit context options missing for files

I have the latest TortoiseGIT 64 bit installed on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I noticed recently that context options are no longer coming on the files. The folders have the options such as Git commit, Rename etc...but right clicking the files, shows the menu which normally comes for un-added files such as 'Add..' only. I have checked in my repository, that these files for sure are version controlled.

I have already installed 64 bit tortoisegit, latest version of git, have rebooted multiple times, have tried uninstalling tortoisegit, and reinstalling. Have also tried repairing tortoisegit setup.

Anything else I may try?

Here are how my menus are looking:

Where are TortoiseGit settings stored?

By default, TortoiseGit uses the Windows home directory which is normally located under c:\Users and MSYS2 uses its own home directories which are located under [MSYS2-INSTALL-PATH]\home .

What is the difference between TortoiseGit and Git?

TortoiseGit is a free open-source client for the Git version control system. That is, TortoiseGit manages files over time. Files are stored in a local repository. The repository is much like an ordinary file server, except that it remembers every change ever made to your files and directories.

What are not versioned files in Git?

Some files in a repository change often but are rarely committed. Usually, these are various local configuration files that are edited, but should never be committed upstream. Once you mark a file like this, Git completely ignores any changes on it.

Well, I seem to have found a solution for now.

Changing the Icon Overlays status from Default to 'Shell Extended' seem to have brought back the menus and icons for me!

Changing it to None had not helped.
