I can't escape full screen mode in LR: no desktop, no task bar, no menus (File, Edit, View, etc)

[TransitOpDave]

LR CC on Windows 10

Everything works fine -- editing, library module etc -- except that I have no menus and I can't escape to the desktop. Pressing F toggles between the image with and without side panels. F5 does nothing. Nor does Esc.

The only way to escape is to press the Alt key and quit Lightroom from the task bar.

Help!!

There is no library module in Lightroom. There IS in Lightroom Classic. Are you referring to Lightroom Classic? This is the Lightroom forum. Please clarify which version (exact version number) you are referring to.

Assuming you are using Lightroom Classic, try pressing Shift+F once or twice (it toggles through various "full-screen" states).
