Missing Status Bar in PowerGUI

Question

I am missing the bar in PowerGUI that has all the key buttons on it e.g. Debug, Save, New, Open etc.

Is there anyway to get it back? I have looked on Google to no avail. (Ps. The bar with 'File', 'Edit', 'View' etc. is also missing.)

Answer 1

I see you've already figured this out, but I thought I would suggest a more straightforward fix in case anyone sees this in the future.

There is a setting to hide the Menu Bar, though it won't usually let you deselect it.

Try this:

1. Right click on one of the remaining toolbars (over the Save button, for example).
2. Click Customize, then the Toolbars tab.
3. If the Menu Bar option is not selected, select it

Answer 2

in the PowerShell window press alt+space > choose settings > appearance tab in the left> turn off "Hide the title bar" and close the PowerShell and reopen it. these dummy steps worked for me.
