If you have tool bar, Try running your mouse over the edge of the lower part of the tool bar until you get the up and down arrow. If you are able to get this hold down the left mouse button and pull down. If the arrow does not show up then check and see if this tool bar has been locked by right clicking the tool bar and look for lock tool bar uncheck this and try again.

Try pressing F11 whilst you have the window open that it dont work on.

This removes the menu bar when changing to full screen mode.

If it is not this you might have some adware affecting the machine make sure your security is uptodate and to run a scan for adware and viruses.
