The Insert Tab in Gmail
 

The Insert Tab in my chosen contact to send him an email has vanished. How to retrieve it?
I use Google Chrome as my browser in Windows 10.

Thank you in advance for your help.

A web search suggested this and similar problems have been around at least the past 5 years.

Some things to try:
Resetting Chrome has helped with this issue but generally only a temporary fix.
Press F5 to refresh gmail.
One additional suggestion received has been to check if switching over the inbox layout to a different one for some time and then switching it back to the default one helps resolve this.

A different but loosely similar problem:
