Menu icon not appearing

[jdrober9]

Hi ,I was having trouble viewing my icons on my shelf in the modeling  polygon tabs ,curves, rigging and sculpting options . Anybody got any ideas on how i can see these.  I thought uninstalling and installing it a again would help but this is a screen grab of me reopening a fresh recently installed .This is Maya 2017 , which I need . 

Any advice?

Hi!

Please install the latest update available for you Maya version and

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:
