After I installed Altium Library Loader, the shortcut didn't show up in the usual place.
So I followed this instruction (https://www.samacsys.com/altiumll-faq/) and now the toolbar arrangement in the schematic editor is completely messed up (by that I mean the thing in the picture, not sure what the "official" name is). Everything has ended up in random places, items have gone missing, and when I try to go into "Customize" and get , as soon as I exit the stuff disappears again. I'm quite new to Altium 23 and I'm not even sure what it's supposed to look like anymore.

There has to be a way to reset this to the default, I can't be the first who manages to do this. Can anybody help?

I'll admit I've been having a slight panic attack right now and I'm caught in the loop of making it worse the more I try.
I'm prepared to nuke ALL settings and preferences and completely reinstall Altium if that fixes it.

Just drag them back into place.  Enable any missing ones on View/Toolbars, right-click and disable whatever's extra.

For a more precise solution, load your last saved desktop layout (View / Desktop layout / load/save/etc.).  You did save your layout right--? :)

I'll try again with a clear head. Not remembering how it was before makes it harder though.

Uhmm, well... :-[
Does Altium 17 count?
