Genius missing on 12.7

With the new iTunes update to 12.7, genius is completely missing from under the playlists section, the 3 dots menu of any song, and any other way to access genius recommendations except the store, not Apple Music. I can't find a way to enable genius either, as there's no setting like that in preferences. Not one option or even appearance of the word genius exists on the new iTunes except the genius shuffle feature found under Controls. Please help, this problem of mine exists along with this one: For You and Browse not loading

iPod touch, iOS 10.1.1

Try File > Library > Turn On Genius. I'm running 12.7.0.166 and Genius is there.

Indeed so. Thank you. Also the three dots alongside each song will, on some songs but not all, offer "Genius Suggestions" and the top suggestion will be "Start Genius". Then there will be a list of songs as a suggested Genius Playlist followed by the invitation to "Save as Playlist". The invitation seems to be conditional on there being a certain minimum number of songs selected by Genius.

Thanks cjahn50 and BettieLuv, I found the option to "Update Genius" so I guess it's on. Like BettieLuv said, the option is there for a very select few songs, which is sorta sad. :/ Thanks for all the help!
