Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

 

We actually have an article on this issue!

 

From that article:

 

  1. Try a different remote PC monitoring software, such as Team Viewer or RealVNC
  2. Set viewport renderer to be DirectX not OpenGL
    • To change this setting, navigate to Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences > Display > Scroll down, and select DirectX from the Rendering Engine drop-down menu
User-added image
  1. Set the following Environment Variables either through a system variable or through the maya.env file found in the preferences folder:
    • MAYA_CM_DISABLE_ERROR_POPUPS=1
    • MAYA_COLOR_MGT_NO_LOGGING=1
      • On Windows, locate your .env file by navigating to C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\maya\VERSION\Maya.env
      • Clicking on the file will open a blank document (unless you have other variables set). Copy and paste the above variables into the file and re-save

Hi @Anonymous

 

Can you post a screenshot of that not option not being there?

 

This is a basic menu dropdown in Maya and should be there for every version of Maya.
