Minimize, Maximize and Close Buttons Missing From Google Chrome FIX [Tutorial]

Windows user interface has changed through the years, but Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons are present in every version of Windows.

They’re one of the most important aspects of the user interface of any Windows. But what if these buttons disappear?

In recent days, I have come across different computers missing the "Minimize, Maximize and Close" buttons from the top-right corner in Google Chrome, and as a result of that problem, users cannot be able to close, or to minimize and maximize, the Google Chrome window.

Windows interface is simple to use, but sometimes certain issues can appear. Speaking of interface issues, users reported the following problems:

Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons missing Firefox, Chrome, Excel, Internet Explorer – Sometimes this problem can appear in various applications such as Firefox, Chrome, and many others. To fix it, open the affected application and restore its settings to default.

Minimize and Close buttons gone – Several users reported that Minimize and Close buttons are gone from their PC. To fix this problem, be sure to try some of our solutions.

Close, Minimize, Maximize buttons not working – In some cases, Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons won’t work at all. This is most likely caused by a corrupted user profile, so you might have to create a new user profile.

One case or another, don’t worry, there’s a way to make these icons visible again.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).

You can also try going from dark to light mode to see if that helps. I was using a "Sea Form" theme and moving from dark to light displays the buttons properly. I changed my theme to "Oceanic" which displays the buttons well in both dark and light modes.

Thanks for the video, very helpful.
