Top of Window disapeared. Can't minimize & dual monitors no longer work

Hi! This is really stupid, but from what I gather, I must have pressed a shortcut for something because now the top of my window has disappeared (y'know, the part with the 'minimize', 'maximize' and 'close' buttons). I found an explanation addressing the same problem with illustrator, and the guy solved it:

"In the Illustrator Menu Bar, click "Window" and then "Application Frame". It seems that option unchecked will leave the application "fixed" to your primary monitor. Checking it will place the application in a "free-form" window that you're free to move around."

This describes my problem and and provides a solution, but I can't seem to find the 'application frame' setting in Premiere CC. Please help! Strange how dual monitors no longer work, despite them working earlier today, so I assume my window being maximized has affected this. Just don't know what shortcut I pressed. I tried resetting the workspace.

Thanks !

      Correct answer MrMiyazaki

      Try Alt+Space>R.  That will restore down a maximized window.

      Cheers,

      Alt + Space, then 'maximize' worked. Saw that option earlier, but only tried the minimize option...

      Monitors working as they should.

      Many thanks for the help!

      The Alt+Space thing worked for me. It's been doing my head in for about a week. 😅

      I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to say thanks to those that provided a correct answer to the "disappearing" top window bar on my Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.  I don't know how I caused the top row to disappear, but thank goodness I found this solution courtesy of this 2016 thread.

      Alt+Spacebar, then choose maximize in the drop down box did the trick.

      Regards

      Thanks for the response John - I have already tried 'reset to saved workspace' as that is the only option, and it didn't work.
