Here you go.

GNU nano 5.4 /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
@lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms

Ok tried that still no menu bar but now when it boots up the menu bar flashes on and off about 5 times then disappears.

Have you got anything else i can try?

I have never have this problem, so it’s complex to solve…

Maybe restart with fresh install by using this tool can help ?

@Kazzer Hi Kazzer, I have had this problem. It happened when I installed my sound card in bullseye. It seems to be caused by pulseaudio somehow. I had to uninstall my sound card to get the menu bar back.

@bugsounet Thanks for trying to help, if i can’t fix it i will use the tool to restart with a fresh install.

Hi @bugsounet and @lxne,

Just to let you know i fixed my issue by doing these commands.

sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio
