What issue do you have?

Joplin is in a full screen mode, I can't see the Windows bar, and I can't minimize/maximize/close window from the top right corner either, I think I saw the full screen mode earlier but I can't remember how to exit it, and I can't find an option either.

Other applications operate normally.

Try your F11 key.

Try your F11 key.

I already bound F11 to show/hide sidebar :person_facepalming:

On my install (Win 11, Joplin 3.7.18), when I bind F11 to that, it still toggles fullscreen, not the sidebar...

If nothing else, your screenshot shows access to the menu bar. Unbind F11 there?

Fullscreen is a Windows feature, inherited from the rendering engine used by Joplin, as far as I know.

wth, it actually worked, thanks!

joplin uses F11 to toggle the sidebar by default but there's a quirk where it sometimes triggers fullscreen instead depending on which joplin ui element is focused: Toggle note list using F11 fullscreening instead · Issue #15215 · laurent22/joplin · GitHub
