Tried ESC and TAB.

Did you try F? We need to find out if you are in Full Screen Mode — or not.

"Press the letter F on your keyboard to cycle from Standard Screen Mode to Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar. Press F again to switch to Full Screen Mode. Pressing F one more time will take you from Full Screen Mode back to the Standard Screen Mode. To cycle backwards through the screen modes, press Shift+F. Finally, I mentioned earlier that you can exit out of Full Screen Mode by pressing the Esc key on your keyboard, This returns you to Standard Screen Mode. Pressing F while in Full Screen Mode does the same thing."

I've branched your post from a six-year-old solved thread in 2018 to its own thread.

 

Please share a screenshot from your computer where you are missing the Menu bar. Is that computer Mac or Windows?

 

You might also try pressing F or Escape, which will take you out of the full screen view if that is the issue.
