Any help is greatly appreciated!

Run Windows Troubleshooter: - Use the Windows Troubleshooter to identify and fix any issues with the Contacts app. - Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Store Apps > Run the troubleshooter. 5. Check User Account Control Settings: - Ensure that the UAC (User Account Control) settings are not blocking the "New Contact" option. - Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Change User Account Control settings and set it to the default level. 6. Create a New User Account: - As a last resort, you might consider creating a new user account to see if the option appears there. If none of these steps work, please let me know, and we can explore further solutions to resolve this issue.
