It looks like you may have inadvertently turned on "Dashboard only mode"

Uncheck the menu:
Options --> Performance --> Dash Only Mode

It does not.. It became pointless as it did not save any measurable time after other optimizations had been put in place. Meanwhile, it was quite common for people to turn it on and get confused.

It is not gone just hidden - at least according to the change log. I have added this code to my PI and it is not adding the menu.

I have opened a ticket with TS about the Dash Only Mode not working after adding the code. They confirmed the issue and are reaching out to the dev.
