  Hi there, I am using Mechanical APDL on a university desktop. When I open the GUI, I cannot see the main menu or command line. I don't know the exact reason but the previous user may have disabled them. My question is, how to get the main menu and default GUI back? I have attached a screenshot for reference. Thanks, Ankanish.

  Could you open workbench and go to tools>options>Mechanical APDL and click restore defaults.

  Thanks for your kind reply. I tried what you suggested, but I am afraid it is not working. I also tried logging into the same system with other account, and checking the GUI. But still I am having the same problem. Is there any other solution.
  Thanks, Anish.

  Try the following:
  
  Go to Menu Toolbar : PlotCtrls>Windows Controls> Reset Windows Options
  
  Please see if this helps.

  This looks like an installation issue. I will move this post to the installation.
