April 6Apr 6 My menu bar in FSX is missing half and when I hold down ALT Key it won't disappear. I need help in reinstating the menu bar.
April 6Apr 6 Administrators To fix a partially missing or invisible menu bar in FSX, toggle it by pressing ALT, or ALT+ENTER to switch from Fullscreen to Windowed mode. If it remains broken, delete the fsx.cfg file (found in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX) to reset interface settings, or add a [PANELS] section with MenuBar=1 to the config file. Microsoft Learn +3 Common Fixes for FSX Menu Bar Issues: Toggle Menu: Press ALT to toggle the menu bar visibility. Toggle Windowed Mode: Press ALT + ENTER to switch between fullscreen and windowed mode, which often restores the menu. Reset fsx.cfg: Navigate to %appdata%\Microsoft\FSX\, locate the fsx.cfg file, and delete/rename it. Restart FSX to regenerate a new config file. Edit fsx.cfg directly: Open fsx.cfg in Notepad and under the [PANELS] section, ensure MenuBar=1 is set. If [PANELS] is missing, add [PANELS] and MenuBar=1 on the line below. Check Display Settings: Ensure your resolution is not set too high or that the window is not hidden outside the screen area. Compatibility Mode/Run as Admin: Right-click the FSX shortcut, select Properties, and run in Compatibility Mode (e.g., Windows 7/8) and check "Run as Administrator". Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your NVIDIA or AMD drivers are updated to prevent display glitches.
