R7 Stuck on Manual Focus

NMy R7 is stuck on manual focus. I have turned the camera off, removed battery, changed the settings. In the menu (AF - AF operation) only MF is an option.  I've read of at least one other person with this issue who had to factory reset. Do I have any other options?

Oh, my - such a simple fix! Thanks so much. 

My RF 35mm and my RF 24-105mm focuses well in my R7

Using a new Canon R7. Autofocus was working fine in the morning with a Canon 18-135mm IS USM lens and Neewar adapter. It had worked fine ever since I got the camera. This afternoon I took the lens and adapter off the camera body to check the fit of a new padded lens pouch. When I put the lens back on the body, adapter already attached, the lens was not fully seated into the adapter. I fixed that problem and I had autofocus again as before.
