Hypershade shows up for brief second then goes to "press tab to create node"

[Anonymous]

I'm very inexperienced with Maya (less than a year) I am trying to get to the standard hypershade screen. When I first started using Maya, it popped up just fine but now, after attempting to follow a tutorial, I cannot get my hypershade to show the proper screen and instead it wants me to create a node. I know it's a stupid question but can someone please tell me how to get rid of it?

Hi!

Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2019 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2019 to 2019_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:
