Tools menu missing. :(

I am busy learning uscript, which pops up in the tools menu, and the tools menu randomly vanished. Google is not helping, and I reimported uscript. Kind of hard to get anything done when i cannot find some sort of toggle for the tools menu anywhere. :<

i cant figure it out :frowning:

There is no tools menu in Unity by default. If an asset created one for itself, that’s up to the asset (although creating custom menu categories is discouraged; menu items are supposed to be put under GameObject/Component/Window/etc. as appropriate).

I have the same problem, I purchased an asset in the asset store that created an entry under the tools menu. Now the tools menu has disappeared. Removing and re-importing the asset has not brought the menu back. I’m trying to get it back.
I found the solution. I’m leaving this posting here in case someone else has the same issue. The problem was a script located within the folder structure that added the item to the tools menu had a compile error.

hello there.
i have the same problem.
how to fix it please?
what script gave you that error?

No tools in my dev either. In fact I got here because I cant run any asset WTFFFFFF is going Uniteaser?
Tools on, Tools off. And like a fool I paid from all my tools in previous versions. I was using everthang just fine then poof! Excuse my impatience. I have been involved with computers since 1977 and the shit is all the same. NFT - not fully tested. Ya know what? Its managements faulted. I guyawntee it!

Whenever a menu disappears on me it’s usually because a script failed to compile.

Got the same problem here I cant find most of my assets under tools anymore, did anyone find solution?

  1. Open Unity
  2. Click new
  3. Click add asset package
  4. select your assets in asset package
  5. Click on create project

and if you want to add assets on ongoing project

  1. Open your project
  2. hit “Ctrl + 9”
  3. go to downloaded assets
  4. select you preset pack and click on import.“download if the package is not there”

Sadly this is the only solution we have… import it again

  • i suggest download from within the unity application instead of other browsers…

Enjoy and all the best for future projects

i somehow fixed this by deleting lots of unused shaders, not sure what happened but it compiled and they all came back. Im not exactly sure that was the solution because i also upgraded unity at the time.

hi I downloaded ProBuilder and to open it I have to open the tools menu and when i looked, none there

i have the same Problem! I really dont like this System. I try another one.

Try to create a new empty project and import the assets directly from Asset Store. Inside Unity, go to Window > Asset Store, search for 2D Game Kit, download it and click on Import, it’s work for me.

Okay guys I know im this may be really late for alot of you guys and you probably figured it out already but for anyone else that runs into this problem from now on I want to solve this issue for them. The way I solved this problem is by going to Window> Package Manager>Probuilder>Install. Basically if you didnt add it during your unity install its still there you just have to do that to add it manually. So yeah once you do that the “tools” option will show up on the top menu bar and then you can use Probuilder, good to go.
