I believe it's a bug. The settings are still available in the channel box menu under Edit > Settings > Invisible Manips etc.

When I try to use this, it yields an error:

// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2016.5/scripts/startup/initChannelBox.mel line 151: Object 'cbManipsButton' not found.

I hope you didn't remove these options intentionally as they are super useful.

Unrar, copy and replace the attached file to this directory and restart Maya.

Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016.5\scripts\startup\

If you want to fix it manually for another version of Maya:

1. Go to Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016.5\scripts\startup\ and open "initChannelBox.mel" with Wordpad.

2. Find this line:

global proc checkManipButton ( int $state )

symbolButton cbManipsButton;

Add this line above the line we found in Step 2:

So it should look like this:

symbolButton cbManipsButton;
global proc checkManipButton ( int $state )

4. Save file and restart Maya.
