I hate this Contextual Task Bar in v27.9 on Illustrator & I want my properties back across the top.

I updated to Illustrator 27.9 yesterday and instantly became annoyed with the contextual task bar. I also noticed that all of the tools I used to use across the top (align, transform, character, etc.) are gone. I haven't found a way to add them back either. Opening properties opens the same tools, but in a window instead. I am using a cutom workspace and restting it doesn't do it either. What am I missing?

I still have the Control panel at the top. If checking/unchecking Control in the View menu does not work, you could try resetting preferences (you may have to rebuild some settings).

Is the Control panel toggled on in the View menu?

Control is toggled in the Window menu. It does nothing though.

My bad. If you have something selected and the Control panel toggled on, nothing shows in the Control panel? If you look at the hamburger menu at the right side are things checked on?
