My Default Menu Bar Options are no longer displaying.

I work for a large home builder and I recently got my computer upgraded and autoCAD upgraded to 2018.  One of my work associated transferred some of our LISP programs (icons) to my new autoCAD.  After doing it I still had the Default Menu Bar along with our custom menu bar.  But now, not sure what happened the AutoCAD default menu bar is no longer there for me to use.  Without having to do a factory reset how can I get the AutoCAD default menu bar back up and operating?  I have attached a snip it to show you what my screen looks like at the moment.

 

Thank you and hope you can help.

You need to go to your cui by typing "CUI" in the command line, then go to the transfer tab. From there you should be able to find the Main customization file that you can grab the standard Menus from.

Yup. A bug I have seen before. Annoying, isn't it?
Enter this at the command line and take note:

(getvar 'menuname)

Shut down AutoCAD.
Open up your favorite file manager and browse to that folder.
Find and delete the menu name with the ".MNR" extension.
The MNR will rebuild itself the next time AutoCAD is launched.
Note: Some UI elements *might* be reset, such as the menu bar
and ribbon. Adjust as needed. Then save the workspace.

You might try this first:
Inside the CUI, right-click the current (desired) Workspace and
set as current even though it says it is. Then the Apply button.
Repeat a second time if the first attempt did not fix it.
Three a charm?

[for me the Express was the only one showing even though all
of the green checkboxes were on and the menu order in the
right pane was correct - while in the customize workspace mode]

And welcome to these forums.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.  I will definitely try and see if that's the ticket.
