Shift+Ctrl+X does nothing in edit mode, only in object mode.

 


"Start appliction > Option > Gizmo Tap > Mark ON GIZMO Trans"

 

I don't understand.  Where is Option? It is not a tab.

No it's just grouped, are you sure you have not use the - sign to make the gizmo smaller it try making it bigger by keep hitting the + sign, if that doesn't work then you mite need to Reset 3ds Max / 3ds Max Design to default user profile settings https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Resett...

Does it have to do with the polar array and history?

your tranforms are unavailable because your in sub-object model if you want to edit your mesh then you can convert it down to a edible mesh or poly or add a edit poly or edit mesh modifer

Thank you! I was using the Mesh Select modifier not the Mesh Edit modifier.

Autodesk doesn't want you to change the shortcuts. Suddenly, the gizmo was locked and panicked in the midst of a busy situation, but even the shortcut keys were changed, so I was very troubled and really upset.
