If you don't mind closing the account management button too, putting this in your startup scripts folder should get you there:

callbacks.addScript #appActivated "try (if windows.getChildHWND #max \"QmaxLegacyMenuBarClassWindow\" != undefined do
(
	callbacks.removeScripts id:#workspaceCleanup
	UIAccessor.CloseDialog (UIAccessor.GetParentWindow (UIAccessor.GetParentWindow (UIAccessor.GetParentWindow (windows.getChildHWND #max \"Chrome Legacy Window\")[2])))
)) catch ()" id:#workspaceCleanup

I've been having issues with this drop-down menu as well.  I frequently use the 'm' key to toggle my Material Editor open and closed.  But fairly often I toggle the SME off, then hit 'm' to open it again and instead I get the 'Manage Workspaces' dialog box.  And this is not the only time this happens.  It seems as thought the focus keeps ending up in the Workspaces menu drop-down, and I have to keep clicking somewhere else in 3ds Max to pull the cursor out of that box to get my shortcut keys to work.

This is extremely annoying!  I'd use the provided script, but I do not want to remove the menu for account management.

Is anyone else having these issues?  I've searched and can't find any other mention, so I wonder if it is something unique to my configuration...

I'd like to bump this as well. This script doesn't seem to be working in 3DS Max 2021. A fix would be greatly appreciated.

For 3ds Max 2021 and up the following MXS snippet should work. You can paste it into the maxscript editor and drag&drop onto your toolbar if you want and it should toggle the visibility of the whole workspace dropdown ( including the login stuff ). This also should'nt affect any login state or something ( didnt test though )

(
	function ToggleWorkspaceDropDown =
	(
		local qtmax = python.import "qtmax"
		local dropDown = (((qtmax.GetQMaxMainWindow()).menuBar()).children() as array)[2]

		dropDown.setVisible( NOT (dropDown.isVisible() ) )
	)
	ToggleWorkspaceDropDown()
	ok
)

thanks go to Swordlayer to bring  me on the right path with this Qt stuff
