OTOH, To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test?

Sorry for not having anything more useful to say, but what if you try an unreleased version Win-x86_64@tb103-1-TDF from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html ? It installs separately and will not mess with your stable version.

When opening a document (Writer, Calc…) and clicking on Insert I will get a menue with all content. 
Don't know if this should be the "Dropdown".
A screenshot would help, not such a document, which is attached at this moment.

Correcting the summary to talk about menus.
