Developer Console issue

I can't get the Developer Console to work. All the other sys admins in my org have no problems but mine won't run a query. The menu items don't drop down and I get the following error.

Use the Query Editor tab to write and execute SOQL queries. Results are displayed in the Query Results Grid. Use the grid to create, update, and delete data. Take a quick tour...

I am using Chrome and it's up to date. I cleared all History but that hasn't helped either. frozen inoperable dev console

Can you check if the behavior is same on other browsers like firefox and IE?

Hi Shashank,

I have tried Firefox and IE and the Dev Console doesn't work on those either.

This issue might be with the workspace. You may have to delete the existing workspaces as a workaround. Please try this and check if this resolves the issue.

Login to work bench (https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Workbench) --> Utilities --> REST explorer and select GET 

/services/data/v29.0/tooling/query/?q=select+id+from+IDEWorkspace 

You will get IDs.

Now select DELETE, and run below:

/services/data/v29.0/tooling/sobjects/ideworkspace/1de90000002HYxhAAG/

Replace above ID with each ID that you get in the query.
