Hi, Can you see the tab, but it is unavailable? Or is the tab missing completely? The former indicates a group policy in place, the latter can be fixed here (line 51 on the left):

Search your computer for ssmypics.scr file. It should be on your
SystemRoot\System32 directory. E.g. C:\windows\system32

Is it there? If yes, then double-click on the file and check if it is
running. Right-click on the file and choose Install.

Let us know if this information helps you.
