My bifrost shelf in maya 2024 is greyed out and I have all of the bifrost mll's uploaded. I uninstalled and reinstalled maya etc and still the problem persists. Can someone please help me fix what's wrong?

Do you have Bifrost 2.7.0.1 installed?

Have tried to rename your prefs folder? Maybe there is some old stuff inside.

What should I rename it to? I found an old maya 2023 folder in my documents folder and deleted it.

If you rename the prefs folder from 2023 to 2023_old Maya wont find it and does create a new one.

You could also delete it. But a backup is a good idea maybe there is something you want to keep.

I deleted the folder because there isn't anything that I want to keep, but still the bifrost problem persists. I did a file purge of all of the autodesk folders in my program files and wherever I could then redownloaded maya and it works fine now. I don't know what caused it in the first place but it works now and that's all I care about. It seems there was a compounded issue where I couldn't even assign a new material to an object. Thanks for your help regardless, I appreciate it.

It happened to me with all shelf 😀
I found away to fix it instead of delete maya folder from Document. go to shelf and on icon (Ctrl + Middle click) to create duplicate from it then open shelf editor and delete the icon grey out

thank you so much!! it's so annoying bug, I have a lot of custom scripts and I was afraid to recreate them all because of this issue.

The workaround I have for the issue now is I just delete the shelf and reload the shelf and it's completely fine. It's quite the annoying bug.
