lz, do you use any third-party plugins? or does it happen for you with the stock Ai?
Indeed, I had the same problem with plugins.
If you had some plugins installed, which had their own tools, and the plugins are not supported by a new version of Illustrator (or were not installed), Ai gives you an error and can’t load tool panels at all (or loads them every second time).
Sometimes panels are not even listed in the menu, and another time they do get loaded, but without missing tools.
Even if you install plugins back — panels don’t get fixed, they are broken forever, and there is no other way to restore them, except for creating anew (or directly editing Tools Panel Presets, which is not an intended way for sure).
