 * When i want to edit articles it’s only possible with the HTML editor. I tried
   to change it to the visual editor but it does not appear where it should or with
   shift+ctrl+alt+M. I also tried to desactivate all plugins, change theme and actualization
   of wordpress (back up and delete files) but nothing changes. What’s the problem
   and what can I don to solve it?

 * What happens when you click on Visual Editor in the top right menu? Nothing at
   all?
 * Deactivating all plugins is a good first attempt. Did you activate a default 
   theme like TwentyTwentyThree at the same time you deactivated them? Does it work
   then?
 * Also check the JavaScript console to see if it says anything about this: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/)

 * Have you looked in the JavaScript console as described? What does it say at that
   moment?

 * Strange. Have you tried it with another browser or in private mode? Maybe a browser
   addon is interfering here.

 * [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) What else could i try?
   I’m desperate, I’ve been son long trying to solve this and there’s no way I ca
   find what’s wrong.

 * Just got another idea about this: try reinstalling. Go to Update in wp-admin 
   and click on the Re-Install button. This will re-download the WordPress core 
   files and store them.

   do I have to do it manually?
