The entry is missing if you associated the ISO with a different tool. Press SHIFT Key and do a right click on an ISO file and select Open with.

Here select Explorer and set the option to open ISOs all the time with Explorer.

If you previously installed software that remains associated with the ".ISO" file type, you won't see the Disc Image Tools on the File Explorer ribbon and if you right-click an ISO file, you won't see the option to Mount the image within the Context Menu. You need to restore the default ISO file type association to bring back those options:

  1. Press WindowsKey + S
  2. Within the search field type Default Programs and press Enter
  3. In the subsequent Settings window scroll to the bottom and select Set defaults by appSet Defaults by app
  4. When the window opens to Set Default Programs, on the left side scroll down to select Windows Disc Image Burner and on the right side select Set this program as defaultSet Default Programs
  5. If you prefer to Choose defaults for this program, ensure that you check the box for the .iso file type and click the Save buttonSet Program Associations
  6. Click the OK button
  7. Close the Default Programs window
  8. Reboot

Once the procedure is done, whenever you work with an ISO image file you should again see Disc Image Tools on the File Explorer ribbon and the option to Mount the image within the Context Menu.
