Description canderfalk 2025-12-05 07:54:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
There were suddenly no menu bar in Steam. Googling let me know that unchecking Background Services/Application Menus daemon would work, so I did that. Restarting system then gave me the menus back (restarting Steam didn't). I'm here because of a link in Background Services told me to.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Everything is fine each restart for a couple of days after eos-update
2. Suddenly one morning no menu bar after startup
3. unchecking "Background Services/Application Menus daemon" and restarting system worked

OBSERVED RESULT
No menu bar in Steam

EXPECTED RESULT
Menu bar in Steam

Do you use a global menu, or a menu button in your apps' titlebars? Or did you at any point in the past?

Hi! No, never activated the global menu or changed anything about the
buttons. I have my panel on the right side of my desktop.
