After upgrading from MATLAB R2023a to MATLAB R2025a/R2025b, the classic ‘Menu Bar’ (File, Edit, View, Insert, Tools, Help) that normally appears at the top of the figure window in my GUIDE-built app is missing. This issue occurs every time I open the app in the newer releases.
Previously, in MATLAB R2023a, these menus were available and allowed me to interact with plots, export data, and access other figure tools.
I need a way to restore these menus or replicate the same functionality in the newer versions of MATLAB.
