    In the Preferences dialog box, click Reset to Defaults or press and hold Control+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Animate.

    I don't see "Reset to Defaults" anywhere in the preferences.

    @Marietta5FA5 

     

    again, the safest way to reset preferences for any adobe app is:

    uninstall the app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

    If you want to reset your preferences to default settings:
    In the Preferences dialog box, click Reset to Defaults or press and hold Control+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Animate.

    While Animate is closed, delete everything inside the Configuration folder.

      The folders might be hidden.

       

      These are the paths to Config:

      on Win:

      C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration
      on Mac:

      HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Animate YourVersion\YourLocale\Configuration

       

      Also delete everything in Roaming:

      on Win:

      C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\YourVersion\
      on Mac:

      HD\Users\YourUserName\Library\Preferences\Adobe\Animate\YourVersion\
