I cannot locate the top bar in adobe illustrator. The home icon is all that is being available. I need to have the others show.

Hi ​@royp99213150 Could you please share a screenshot of what you see? This will help a lot to find the way out.

Do you have the various menu listings next to the home icon (File, Edit, Object, Type, etc) or is everything blank? If you’re missing the menu listings then it might be necessary to reset the Illustrator Preferences file.

Go to the Window menu. Does Control have a check mark next to it? If not, select the Control menu. 

The Home button is above the Control panel and has nothing to do with the Control panel. 

You should consider creating a workspace after you get your panels set the way you like them.
