All of a sudden ... I tried the tab-trick and other things, to no avail 😞
»Window/Workspace/Reset Essentials« is greyed-out

 

Windows 10, Illustrator 25.4.1 (64 Bit)

Photoshop and InDesign are OK, though.

If that doesn't work you may need to uninstall and reinstall? If you do use the cleaner tool as well.

Uninstall or remove Adobe Creative Cloud apps

Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to solve installation problems
