Edit Named Selection Sets window is missing/will not open.

I cannot get the Edit Named Selection Sets window to open. I've tried swapping the positions of my two monitors and I've tried the advice posted here:

....but these methods don't work and I still cannot access the Edit Named Selection Sets window, even after restarting 3DS Max.

Any other advice about what to do here?

Sometimes if I get issues with the interface I will go to custom ui and defaults switcher and reset the interface through there. See attached.

Hope this helps.

hey, I'm back since this problem keeps happening.... Every time I restart 3DS Max this same problem occurs where the Curve Editor and the Manage Selection sets windows goes missing.

I'm using a dual monitor setup and only one monitor is 4K.

I've tried resetting the UI to the defaults but doing this gets rid of custom menus that I need (RPManager, Thinkbox's Frost, Xmesh, Krakatoa...). I've tried saving my custom UI layout to be able to restore this once loading the standard UI gets rid of my custom menus, but then my custom UI won't load correctly and I need to set up my menus all over again!!

Is there any other solution to these missing menus other than loading the standard UI and losing all of my necessary custom menus?!

Sorry, I should note that I was able to resolve the issue of my custom UI settings not saving/loading correctly.

However, I still keep losing my menus and I have to continuously restore my UI, so while this is a solution to get my menus back it's annoying to have to keep doing this.
