Solution when the Gmail menu is not displayed correctly

UIs, which are in the world, are usually designed to be easy to use so that even those who are not good at technology can understand.But is there anything that doesn't work well at the moment and you can't remember how to fix it?

The author is often tossed by a third -party UI used for "WORLD OF WARCRAFT", and for almost a week, "There must have been a way to change the settings. But where there is a menu ..."After worrying, it is standard to search for 10 minutes on Google and find a method.

And repeat the same thing again.

米LifehackerのQ&Aコラム「Tech 911」に今週届いた相談も、同じような悩みでした。読者のJoeさんからのメールです。

Did the main menu of Gmail disappear?

Joe, don't worry.The problem can be as easy as the time spent to write this consultation email.

I guess the sidebar on the left was closed at some time.There should have been a "folder" of emails such as receiving boxes, transmitted boxes, and drafts, as well as labels and trash cans.

Isn't the Gmail screen like this?

To revive the sidebar, just click the "Hamburger icon".The hamburger icon is the three horizontal bars at the top left of the screen.

If you are not "really visible" on the left side of Gmail, including icons and links, it's my mistake.In that case, although it is difficult to identify, it seems that an interesting phenomenon is occurring.

First of all, let's try trouble shooting that can be used for all browser problems.First, disable the add -ons and extensions used.All including advertising blocks.Then read the gmail again to see if the left sidebar is back.

If you still don't revive, open the browser settings and try the classic method of clearing cash, cookies, and history.I do not know the browser in use from the email, but I will list the methods for each major browser.

If that's not the case, try a different browser.When you open Gmail, does the left sidebar appear?

If it doesn't appear yet, it's a shock, but something that is not a browser is doing something wrong.Next, open the Gmail settings and make sure that the label is "display" instead of "hidden".

Let's change the resolution.Go the mouse on the Google profile photo at the top right of the screen and click the gear icon.By changing the resolution or the type of receiving tray, the sidebar may be revived.

If you still can't solve it, open Gmail from another computer (even if you borrow it from a friend).If the sidebar is displayed, something is happening on your OS.

It is possible that some of the websites are not loaded in the router settings.It is quite troublesome to go to this point, but troubleshooting is such a thing.

If the sidebar is still not displayed, I have nothing to say anymore.At least you can't get any more ideas.

If you can access Gmail from a PC connected to a network other than your home without any problems, practice a scorched earth.Reset the router to the factory shipping status to make sure that the cause of the problem is not intended.

If it is still useless, the last resort.Let's back up the data, reset the PC to the shipping status, and see if this means is useful.

I'm writing such a tough thing because I don't know how light you can solve your problem.The problem may have been solved long ago, without "resetting everything to the initial state".

Still, I wrote it because I wanted to list it as a last resort.If you like, please tell me if your problem has been solved.If none of them work, why not stop gmail and use Protonmail?
