Hi @Anonymous and welcome!

You can try deleting your settings/preferences.

Let me know if this solves your issue!

You cant find your folder with your settings/preferences?

It should be in Documents>Maya>2017 and it will be labeled 'prefs'

if you want, you can go to "Window" at the top of the hypershade window and select the first five items one at a time. then, you can arrange the windows that pop up.

Hi @Anonymous

Try what @Anonymous suggested but if that doesn't work you may want to do a full uninstall and reinstall of Maya.

Hi!

Just to make sure, you replaced "USERNAME" with your "username" like "deblsc" or whatever your user account on your computer is named?

(You may try a reset inside the Preferences window inside Maya but this might not be enough)
