Q: Unable to see full drop down menus (top bar)

Hey,

 

TL;DR - My menus are going above the screen and I can't access the options.

 

Not sure when or why it happened, but all of my drop down menu's from the apple's navigation bar at the top.

The menu does not allow me to see anything above the screen or scroll up for that matter.. This goes for all icons (wifi, sound, date and time, etc.). I've tried restarting at the very most. Should I try to reset the NVRAM?

 

Please help!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

    Restart your Mac. If that doesn't help, restart into Safe Boot mode.

     

    Start it with the Shift key held down. This will start it into Safe Mode, with all extensions turned off. Safe Mode is slow to start, so give it time, it's checking a bunch of tasks. If it works OK in Safe Mode, restart normally. If it works now, you're done.

     

    If the problem returns after restart, you have an extension conflict. Turn off all extensions via System Preferences. To isolate which extension is at fault, turn on one extension at a time, restarting in between, until you find the bad one.

    Thanks Rysz!

     

    Safe mode fixed the menus!
