No idea how to reproduce, but the Mixer is no longer showing up, whether checked or unchecked. I've looked (and poked) carefully around the edges of the screen to see if it somehow got positioned almost out of sight, but nope. I'm re-installing.
Comments
One clue might be that I was using the side-by-side view of documents, with maybe four documents open, for a while before the disappearance.
Running Repair from the installation executable didn't fix. Will now uninstall and re-install.
Wow. Complete uninstall and reinstall did not fix this!
Reinstall almost never fixes anything (except for a corrupt installation which is extreemly rare). Reverting to factory settings is more likely to fix this, so please try that.
Help/Revert to Factory Settings did get it working again. But of course I have to recreate my custom shortcuts, etc.
I think calling this a duplicate of #283258: Mixer panel (not) showing is more accurate. The workaround is known, but the mixer vanishing is not good and needs fixed.
