I've had git running on my machine for over a year. I have a folder in my C root called gitRepo, which contains all my various repos. For some reason, for one repo only, the git bash command is suddenly missing from the right-click context menu. Here's a screenshot from a working repo:
And here's the "non-working" repo:
The git bash command is missing from the non-working one. (Yes, I know I can open a bash window from the working one, and then just use cd ../ to change directories so I'm in the correct repo, but that's just asking for trouble, as I frequently have bash windows open for multiple repos.)
What isn't visible in the screenshot is that the entire top menu chunk (Open – Play with VLC media player) is also missing from the "bad" repo; the only item available in that top chunk is 7-Zip.
What could have caused this, and how do I get the entry back?

Even if the context menu is working correctly otherwise, it doesn't appear if you go to a folder via your "Library" in Windows. So when doing that, use a direct path from C:\ onwards instead.
