Navigation gizmo missing after loading a file I am using Blender 2.82a on Mac, and it seems every time I open this particular file, my navigation gizmo (viewport top right) along with the zoom, pan, and camera buttons that are usually below it are missing! 

I have tried to Load Factory Settings, and they reappear in the new and empty file. But whenever I return to my Blender file they remain missing! 

Not sure if it's a stupid question, and in reality it's just a hot-key that I may have accidentally pressed, but I am new to Blender and would really love the help with this! 

Please and thank you!
The viewport nagivation gizmo can be activated in the Viewport Gizmos options by ticking the checkbox with the Navigate label. 



If you don't want to load the UI layout and settings from an existing project, disable Load UI in the file browser as shown in this answer.
