Dropdown menus not working

Hi

This is weird - I've been using XY for 5 years and it's never happened before

My dropdown menus have stopped working - I mean I normally press ALT + F, etc for the File Dropdown menu, which works just like in Word, browswers, etc

Now dropdown menu isn't displayed and I can't find anything in settings that would make it display

I've just updated to the latest version 13.50 in the hope that this would fix it, but it didn't

On all other programs the dropdown menus work ok - eg Word, Chrome

Many thanks to anyone who can help

Tony

Hi! Have you maybe loaded a language file into XY?

Hi Admin

Re - loading a language file - not knowingly

It's still in English - I mean the right click menus are still in English

Is there a shortcut that I may have accidentally hit - which removes and disables the dropdowns?

Is the menu visible and does it show "File", and when you press and release ALT is the "F" in File underlined?

No- the menu is not visible - see screenshot below

When I press ALT, nothing happens

However, it's still working in other applications like Word

Press Alt+Up to show the menu bar

Sorted

I can't believe I haven't accidentally done that before

Many thanks
