Thank you for reaching out to us here in the Community, Daryl. I'm here to help you recover your menu bar in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).
To begin, could you please clarify whether you are using QuickBooks Online (QBO) or QBSE? This information is essential as it will determine the steps needed to retrieve your menu bar.
Moreover, if you're using QBSE, it's essential to note that QBSE does not have the three-bar icons to hide or unhide the menu bar for an expanded view. However, QBO does have this feature, which gives users the flexibility for better navigation.
Regardless of the product you're using, if you are unable to see the menu bar, one possible cause could be related to your browser. To determine if this is the issue, I suggest using your browser's incognito mode. This will help identify if any browser extensions or cached data in your regular browsing mode could be causing you to be unable to see the menu on your screen. Depending on your browser type, you can use the following shortcuts:
- Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
- Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
- Safari: Command + Shift + N
If you're able to access the menu, proceed to clear your browser's cache for a fresh start. Additionally, recommend using other devices and supported browsers to check if the menu appears on your screen.
