Can't get menu-bar displayed on startup

[lel4866]

I can’t get the menu-bar displayed on startup. I’m running emacs 28.2 on Windows 11.

I can M-x menu-bar-mode after startup and it displays just fine.

I’ve tried the following in my config.el:

(after! core-ui (menu-bar-mode 1))

(after! core-ui (menu-bar-mode t))

(menu-bar-mode 1)

(menu-bar-mode t)

I cannot reproduce that. (menu-bar-mode +1) in $DOOMDIR/config.el works for me. Please include your M-x doom/info, and ensure that Doom is up-to-date.

(after! core-ui (menu-bar-mode 1))

(after! core-ui (menu-bar-mode t))

core-ui was renamed to doom-ui, by the way, but it shouldn’t make a difference either way. doom-ui is always loaded before $DOOMDIR/config.el is.

(menu-bar-mode +1)

Thanks for answering so quickly! I did a doom sync (no change). FYI, I’ll try this on my work machine tomorrow (also Windows 11)

Here’s my doom info. Also, (menu-bar-mode +1) is the only customization in my config.el

Problem solved…

I don’t recall doing this (and we’re talking about an install I did yesterday), but here is my custom.el:

(put 'projectile-ripgrep 'disabled nil)
(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(menu-bar-mode nil))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
