Windows 10: Missing window controls in my apps

For some reason, some of my apps' window controls are missing their buttons (e.g. close, minimize, settings, etc.).There was once a similar incident on the SevenForums where someone had problems with their window controls not showing up, but this affects the Store apps and the built-in Windows apps as well. Of course I can interact with the window normally, but it's gotten annoying already.

Already ran the sfc /scannow tool and it didn't find any problems...
Already did register the Store and apps. That didn't help. For some reason, it only affects just apps, and not windows for Explorer, Task Manager, MMC, etc.

Missing apps in Window 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. I will assist you with this.

To better understand the issue please let us know

1. Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the start of the issue?

2. Do you receive any error message?

3. Are you signed in with a Microsoft account?

4. Do you use any proxy server, to connect to the internet?

I suggest you to sign out from the current user account, restart the PC and login to the either administrator account or the Microsoft account to check, if that helps.


if you do not find the store app in the Microsoft account, then login to the local account and check, if you find the store app. if yes, then click on it, type the Microsoft account credentials and test, if you are able to login to the store.

Let’s try to refer to the link below and check, if the issue still persists.

Sign in with a Microsoft account:

Also, I suggest you to install any pending updates on the PC to check, if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

Hope it helps. Reply with the result and I'll be happy to help you further. Thank you.

 

If your in Tablet mode you have to mouse up to the very top of the screen for the controls to drop down.

 

This tower doesn't have a touchscreen, and the laptop which also runs Windows 10 also doesn't have one. If you haven't noticed, there's also no titlebar title. I can't even tell which app is open this way.

 

You don't have to have a touch screen to be in tablet mode. And I didn't see anything other than a little black box with a X in it in your first post. You didn't upload your image correctly.

Forgot to mention, on my laptop which had Windows 8.1 installed last before upgrading it, it's not doing the thing that my tower's doing. All of the controls and even the whole title bar is visible on there.

 

Did you look to see if tablet mode is enabled?

 

Reading the initial post, I also thought that Touch mode might be enabled (although it should not be)...

 

Think this might be related to AMD Dual-Graphics and using the wrong combination of APU and graphics card. My games are so going to get nailed at this point.
