Hello there,

Today I've installed for the 1st time Photoshop CC 2019 (I'm a heavy past PS user, though).

I know this sounds basic, but have you tried placing your cursor over the menu in the top left of your monitor? Sometimes when Photoshop is in Full Screen mode, the top left buttons disappear, but come back when you put your mouse over the menu bar.

Also, you might try hitting "F" to see if the screen is in Full Screen Mode.

It's not on full screen mode. It is really a sort of a glitch: whenever you use a second/external monitor, it happens.
But thanks for your insight. Cheers.
gener7​ just nailed it here, though.

This shifts the application frame to where you can see the three dots. now you can click the green dot on the application frame and then re-size to fit.

Next time, power down the External Monitor before disconnecting it. (I learned that the hard way )
