I was messing around with Compiz Settings Manager and result of that is that I cant see my panel bar, cant use alt+tab or start button. Is there a way to restore default Ubuntu environment? I will be grateful for your help

In terminal, type in sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
to completely reinstall back to defaults.
To remove all compiz settings type rm -rf ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1
in terminal, then logout and back in.

@LudwigSupraphonic I added a second command in my answer to specifically delete all compiz settings. New default settings will be created when you log back in.– DeloreanJun 21, 2016 at 14:06
Or you can install "Unity Tweak Tool" and set the default settings. Open a terminal and type:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install unity-tweak-tool

Had wired terminal and windows behavior. removing
~/.config/compiz-1
wasn't the solution. But hitting therestore default
button in theunity-tweak-tool
brought my Unity back to normal behavior. THX– Tik0Jun 13, 2018 at 7:12 -
@Tik0 I am trying it now, In unity-tweak-tool, there is one 'restore default' button in each and every menu.. which button do you mean?– Chan KimNov 2, 2018 at 4:58
Try the following, open terminal and type:
unity-reset
Alternatively:
setsid unity
But, If you can't get to the terminal cause your start buttons doesn't work you can always (this only works if you have a folder on the desktop) open the folder then go to 'computer>usr>share>applications' look for terminal inside the folder and click to open, then enter either of the above commands in the terminal.
