CC18 update, control panel missing

[brettp607]

I have found a couple of other forums where people were missing their old control panel along the top.  I changes my work space to the Essentials Classic, and a bar shows up, but it's blank.   I have tried all sorts of tools and it remains blank.  How do I get this back?

Try choosing  Control  from the Window menu.

Or reset your preferences:

I've tried both of those things   The bar is there... just blank.  Window>Control will toggle this on and off.

Do you have extra plugins installed?

Are you set up with dual monitors?

[brettp607]

Yes, I have dual monitors.  No issues with that on 17 though.

No extra plugins that I'm aware of.
