Title bar, Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons missing in Windows 10
The title bar also contains the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons. However, it can happen that problems occur, preventing the title bar buttons, Minimize, Maximize, and Close from appearing in Explorer, a built-in tool or program installed. This error is due to a number of factors, such as the corruption of some system files, user profile errors generated on a DOMAIN network, and so on.
Title Bar, Minimize, Maximize, Close Buttons
If the title bar, minimize, maximize, restore, and close buttons are not visible in Explorer or in any program, try these suggestions.
- Fixes specific to the Office software.
- Run the System File Checker.
- Run DISM.
- Get the video buffer emptied.
- Reset or reinstall the program.
- Recreate the user profile.
1) Fixes specific to the Office software
Start your computer in safe mode. Start your Microsoft Office program with the problem.
Of View menu, shoot Full screen option. Select the File menu and click Open.
Now you can do two things depending on the application you have run.
- Excel: Open the problem at the origin of the workbook. Then View menu selection Personalize. Just check that the Worksheet checkbox is checked.
- Word: Save the document from the File menu.
Quit the program and restart your computer.
2) Run the system file checker
If the problem occurs on an integrated tool, open CMD and execute the given command:
sfc /scannow
It will launch the system file checker that will try to fix potentially corrupted system files.
3) Run DISM
Again – If the problem occurs on a built-in tool, open Command Prompt (Admin) and enter the following three commands sequentially, one by one, then press Enter:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Let these DISM commands run and, when finished, restart your computer and try again.
4) Get the video buffer emptied
Bad data in the video buffer can also cause such problems. What you can do is hit the Shift + CTRL + WINKEY + B key combinations on your keyboard.
Leave your computer idle for about 10 seconds during which the screen will blink once.
Once this is done, start using your computer normally as the problem needs to be corrected now.
5) Reset or reinstall the program
You may be running the application in full screen mode. However, if you hit the F11 or Esc key, you can exit the full screen mode and eventually find the title bar and the three buttons.
If you are using a UWP and are experiencing this problem, you can try to reset the application and check if this solves your problems. To reset the application, follow these steps:
- Open the Windows 10 Settings application and navigate to Applications> Applications and features.
- In the right pane, look for the entry of the application with which you are having problems.
Select it and select Advanced options.
- Under the section of reset, click on the button that says Reset.
6) recreate the profile of the user
Some errors in the creation of a user profile can also cause a problem of this type. The best remedy you can have here is to delete and recreate your user profile. This will lead to the fact that all damaged support shell files in your user account will be overwritten by the appropriate files and will eventually resolve your issue.
I hope these fixes have helped you.
