Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

I'd like to help you with this, but I have a few questions please. The missing command panel does sound strange. Can you please tell me your current OS, your graphics card, and which version of 3ds Max you are using? Thank you very much for doing so.

Best Regards,

Anyone having such an issue in the future,

one easy solution is you can try increasing the size of text in your Windows settings.

Just type Text Size in your windows search field or the settings search.

This will increase it for the whole system.

Another simple solution is increasing the Scale in your system settings, i.e. to 125%

You can try any of these to see if any suits your needs.
