Hey, it looks like your menu bar is set to hidden. To bring it back:

- Press `Ctrl + Shift + P` to open the Command Palette
- Type `Toggle Menu Bar` and select it. This should bring back File, Edit, etc.

You can also press `Alt`. If the menu shows up briefly, it means the setting is in toggle mode. To make it permanent, go to Settings `Ctrl + ,`, search for `window.menuBarVisibility`, and set it to `classic`.

Let me know if that works.
