There are a few things you can try to fix the issue of the Shortcut Tab missing in the Properties window in Windows:

* Type `cmd` and press `Enter` to open the Command Prompt.
* Type the following command and press `Enter`:
```
sfc /scannow
```
* The SFC tool will scan your system for corrupted files and replace them with good copies.
3. **Run the DISM (Deployment Image and Servicing Management) tool.** The DISM tool scans your system for corrupted Windows system images and repairs them. To run the DISM tool, follow these steps:
* Press `Windows` + `R` to open the Run dialog box.
* Type `cmd` and press `Enter` to open the Command Prompt.

4. **Create a new user account.** If the Shortcut Tab is missing in the Properties window for all users, it may be a problem with the current user account. To create a new user account, follow these steps:
