I've had this issue on every version of STAAD I've ever had, but am using 20.07.11.82, right now...
Every time I start STAAD (a blank project or an existing project), I get about a dozen empty tool palettes that pop up.
Is there any way to stop this from happening? Or is there a bug fix that I could download from somewhere?

Update...this was actually only a temporary fix, for me. After a day or two (probably at the system restart), the empty palettes are back.
...still looking for a lasting fix...
I would recommend you to upgrade to the most recent STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition (version 21.03.00.146).
What was the change, between v. 20.07.11.82 and 20.03.00.146, that would fix this?
In the STAAD.Pro Connect Edition the toolbars have been replaced by ribbon menu and you are not going to run into issues like this.
