Dreamweaver 21.8 lost my ability to insert extensions - the menus.xml file is corrupt. Resetting preferences did not work

I have been using Dreamweaver 21 since December 2025. Have successfully installed extensions using DMX Zone Extension Manager. I think due to the recent update, the Insert menu does not display the extensions. When trying to upload again or different ones, the same error message appears: the file menus.xml is corrupt.  I have searched and found the recommendation to reset preferences, which I did twice, and am still getting the same message that the menus.xml file is corrupt. Please help.

    My solution to a similar problem was to step back one version from the present version: usiing the Creative Cloud app, uninstall latest version, install previous version, re-install extensions with the DMX manager. There may be a better way, but I don’t know it.
