Do you mean the main menu or one of the sub-menus?
The main menu setup is saved in server.prefs file, but I'm not sure
where other menus are saved.
The Information Browser has been 'odd' for a long time and will appear
and disappear at random, but doesn't seem to leave a trace in any of the
log
Or the Home menue as I believe it is called.
Even if it is saved as a prefs file it seems to change a lot for me,
sometimes a hard restart fixes it but not always.
Info browser is indeed odd, maybe not enough people care about for
Logitech to fix.

No. The usual cause of this problem is LMS up running before the
