With the new update, I lost my dock for essentials.

The new update caused my dock to disappear.  If I switch to essentials classic I get a different dock, is there a way to turn the dock back on for essentials?

    You're welcome.

    Give the Properties panel a try as well. It doesn't have all of the control panel's features, but it has some useful others that the control panel doesn't have.

    The new Essentials panel is context sensitive, but if you don't like it, go to the Workspace Switcher and change to Essentials Classic to get back the old panels.
