Hello!

 Once in a while instead of the normal menu of the MT4 strategy tester, which should be presented by SETTINGS | RESULTS| GRAPH | REPORT | JOURNAL i get this king of "optimization menu" only

What are the differences between the three modes of testing in MetaTrader 5, and what should be particularly looked for? How does the testing of an EA, trading simultaneously on multiple instruments, take place? When and how are the indicator values calculated during testing, and how are the events handled? How to synchronize the bars from different instruments during testing in an "open prices only" mode? This article aims to provide answers to these and many other questions.
 
Make sure the Optimization Checkbox is not selected on the Strategy Tester. I can see it is currently checked from your picture.
Optimization and Regular Backtests are different things with different purposes.

Personally, even if I uncheck the box these tabs will stay. If I want them to disappear I just reboot the MT4 Terminal.

I hope it helps.
