Quicken Menu Bar is Missing

Quicken Windows Subscription Member ✭✭

Can't get it back, it is the Menu bar not the task bar, just disappeared and I can't navigate around including being able to backup, minimize, maximize, etc.

    I have the same problem. Here is a screen shot. It opens on Bills, Income & Transfers, but once I go to accounts there is not way to get back to Bills, Income & Transfers. Used to have a menu bar as shown above that cannot be found anywhere. Instead there is a tool bar displayed below, but in customization adding Bills, Income & Transfers is not an option.

    Sounds like you want the "Classic" menus. Choose that in the main View menu. I don't know why they recommend the small "Standard" menus, which only show a subset of the available commands.

    You can add Bills & Income to the Tool Bar. The item to add is called "Manage Bill & Income Reminders". Its default label is "Scheduled", as "Reminders" used to be called "Scheduled Transactions".

    EDIT: Actually, @QuickUserPSP has it right below. I was looking at a different toolbar item.

    @Laura_57 it is there as an option but to get it you need to check "Show all toolbar choices" -

    I have it on my tool bar

    The other thing to do is to check "Use Classic Menus" in Edit→Preferences→Navigation

    This will give you a more detailed Menu Bar -

    I guess I am one of the few Quicken users that does not like the "Tab View"

    @QuickUserPSP I don't like the Tabs view either and never use it. The interesting thing is that editing the Tabs To Show list also changes the main menu. With Tabs disabled, I can de-select the Mobile & Web tab and that main menu item goes away.

    @Rocket J Squirrel I tried adding the Tabs back, but it looked so out of place. No matter what color I chose, it seemed harsh a stuck out like a sore thumb.
