I accidently lost my menu bar up the top, Live is in Full Screen Mode and I can't find where to revert it back. Can anyone help?

Same thing happened to me in Live 10. Why is this even a thing? Who would think that a feature removing the menu bar would be helpful?

Me for example... I always use Live fullscreen and don't need the menu bar as I use shortcuts.
If you need it just get out of fullscreen mode.

On a Mac at least if you run any application without the menu bar showing you bring it back when you need it by moving the mouse pointer to the top of the screen. Windows has a similar function, though I forget what it is.

Maximising the viewing area for clips/tracks can be very useful sometimes. And most regularly used menu items are on the “right click” menu or available by keyboard shortcuts anyway.

This is happening to me right now. It opens in full screen mode. No access at all to the menu bar. Only relying on keyboard shortcuts. Did anything help you? I tried relaunching and reinstalling, same issue.

It would help if you specify if you're on Mac or Windows...
