All of my menu's decided to disappear this afternoon, I managed to get most of them back but can't seem to get back one of the menu's; the one with layers, opacity, effects, etc. I know there has to be a way to get it back I just can't figure out what it is.

I think that there is a language issue your menus are showing but not your Studio Panels. Go to View > Studio > Reset Studio.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

@paolo111 Have you tried VIEW>Studio>Layers and be sure that there is a check mark before the word Layers?  That should add your Layers panel back.  Also, your screen shot looks as though all of the panels are gone.  Did you try VIEW>Studio then scroll down to the bottom of that window and click on RESET STUDIO?   Hopefully this will help.

Also, you're missing the Context Toolbar (View > Show Context Toolbar).

I just bought Affinity Designer a few days ago and exactly same thing happened to me.  I re-installed the software but no change.  But getting clues from the replies here, after resetting Studio, I checked View->Show Context Toolbar, as well as -> Show Toolbar, -> Show Tools.  I needed to check all of these for the toolbar on the left, top and right to reappear (one by one). It must be a software glitch as the screen went black abruptly while I was using it.

I am having the same issue but only on a new build PC. It is an i7_11700K and I am using the built in UHD graphics.

On this computer when I mouse over a Menu item or other function it DISAPPEARS !!! If I mouse over again it returns.

This does NOT happen on ANY OTHER PROGRAM only Affinity Photo. I use Pinnacle Studio; Office and about a hundred other applications and they all work fine.

I have tried numerous changes including re-installing the 11700K graphics drivers but nothing fixes the issue....

The issue does not occur on a i7-7820X machine. Both running 1.9.2.1035

Very hard to use this way !!!

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

That sounds like a different issue. Please review the known issues caused by third-party software:

 

Several users have reported problems recently with Asus Sonic and/or MIS Nahimic or similar applications.
