What is wrong with my Curve Editor?

It's the dope sheet. Seems to have lost most of its icons as well. I run in to things like this now and again, and hopefully I've saved a configuration file of my work space so that I can revert back to it, but if not I just reset the UI settings.

You were correct, I had tried to reset, or so I thought, I had to go into preferences and use the 'Restore Factory Settings' button. This is a fairly new install, so how the curve editor turned into the dope sheet I have no idea. Thanks for the help.

I have been using 3ds max for 10 years soon, but this is a problem I just can't figure out. I think it was when we swapped to 2020 that the curve editor just stopped working properly, now we are on 2022 and I still can't get it to function properly.

Why is the hierarcy so wonky, where is my y-axis, where is all the tools on the toolbar?!

Does any have a solution for me, I feel kneecapped when I can't use the curve editor when making animations.

Run from Max. As fast as you can. It is a hellscape of buggy stagnancy that I admittedly clung onto for far too long.

I was looking at alternatives a few years back, the problem is that we have some tools that are not easly replaced. I'm sure we could find workarounds, but my boss is not to thrilled on the idea of switching.
