Can you see the window menu? Try

Window → Load layout → Default editor layout

Can you check the Project Settings->Maps & Modes?

Edit → Project Settings → Maps & Modes

Than check the Default Maps Property. You should have something on your Editor Startup Map.

strangely i dont remember messing around with that when i first launched the program
i even tried downloading on my gaming rig to see if it was a software bug
