      So you've tried this?

      QMenuBar *mb = menuBar();
      mb->addMenu(file);
      this->setMenuBar(mb);

          Oh, this is the first time you're saying the code works on some machines and not others?

              So I would look at exactly what version of Qt libraries is being used on your machine versus other machines? Maybe they have a later version than your 5.5, and it will work then?

                  Hi,

                  Aren't you on Ubuntu ? If so, isn't your menu bar shown at the top of the screen macOS like ?

                    LOL if that's what OP means. I have my desktop preference set to show menus on windows, but the default is on system menu.

                        @Vadik YEEEEAH, solved, after some investigations and reinstalling of all components it turned out. Need to change in 'System Settings -> Appearance -> Behavior' parameter for 'Show the menus for a window' from the "In the menu bar" to "In the window's title bar". Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

                          Won't he need setMenuBar(sb) for his main window too?

                          @JNBarchan Question is solved, but as you asked.
                          I don't think it's needed as he gets pointer to menu bar with:

                          QMenuBar *mb = menuBar();
                          

                          and this function returns the menu bar that already set.

                            Yeah, I kinda mis-read (C++ not being my language) it as having been:

                            QMenuBar *mb = new QMenuBar();
                            

                            thinking he was creating his own new one which would need setting. Using the existing menubar and changing its content is of course preferable.
