Since updating to Maya update #3, my file menu isn't working properly. I this error when I go to it and it won't display all of the items it normally does (like set project, etc.).

// Error: file: D:/Programs/Autodesk/Maya2017/scripts/startup/uiRes.mel line 107: displayString identifier "m_FileMenu.kMASHToAE" does not exist. //

// Error: file: D:/Programs/Autodesk/Maya2017/scripts/startup/FileMenu.mel line 339: menuItem: Object 'FileMenuRecentFileItems' not found. //

I have reset my preferences, but that didn't help.

Hi!

How did you reset preferences, by using the menu in Maya Preferences or by deleting the folder?

Rename the folder prefs in folder 2017 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2017 to 2017_backup. Maya creates new folders. Detailed at:

I actually did reset them by renaming the prefs folder and having Maya make
new ones. That didn't fix the issue. However I had a friend send me his
file.mel scripts and I replaced mine with his and it fixed the problem.

I got the same same issue and re-installed the entire program and the issue persists.

In my case if I attempt to use the hot key 'S', the error occurs.

about -lu;
// Result: ("MAYA", "2018", "Win64", "201708311015-002f4fe637") //
editMenuUpdate MayaWindow|mainEditMenu;
SetKey;
performSetKeyframeArgList 1 {"0", "animationList"};
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2018/scripts/startup/uiRes.mel line 107: displayString identifier "m_doSetKeyframeArgList.kObjectKeysWarn" does not exist. //

Hi!

Next time please reset everything not just the prefs folder.

Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:
