minimize, Maximium(restore down), close button missing on windows live mail screen since installing windows 10 and Edge is not working.

I'm wondering if anything new has been learned on this since the problem was identified. Other answere I've found take me through steps that don't match with Win 10 menus, or miss the point of this problem. This one looked really techy and seemed it ought
to work.

My Win 10 problem was similar - no minimize or restore buttons in Edge. Other programs were OK. I ran the procedures outlined (man, how do you come up with that? I'm amazed at the knowledge it must take) but it did not solve the problem. Now, the close button
is also missing for Edge, and on other programs (such as Word, Excel, IE, Chrome) the buttons are there but the restore one doesn't do anything. I can get used to it, everything full-screen or minimized, alt-F4 to close) but it's an irritation.

Incidentally, if it helps to know, I have two user accounts on the computer and the problem is only on mine; the other account is OK.

 

Minimize/maximize/close buttons not working in windows 10

Hi Francine,

The issue may be caused by an improper Windows Update installation. To assist you with your concern,
we suggest that you perform a system restore. This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps,
drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made. To do this, follow the steps below:

• In the Search box, type Control
  Panel and press Enter.
• On the upper-right window, under View
  by, click Category and select
  Large icons.
• Search Control Panel for Recovery.
• Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
• Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select Next > Finish.

Let us know if the solution above works for you.

 

Programs closing when clicking on Minimize

When I click minimize no error appears it just closes like when I press the X button.

I did research and nothing came up about it so no I have not done any troubleshooting steps.
