Solution 1: Click the Rightmost Icon in Chrome

In fact, the "┇" icon is turning into a red/green/orange circle with an exclamation mark or white up-arrow in it. Many think that this is one of the extensions and results in a confusion that the Chrome Menu bar is missing. If you find an unfamiliar circle on the rightmost, it's actually the menu button. Why would it be like that? That's because it's prompting that Chrome is needing an update or a fix.

 

 

Solution 2: Update Your Chrome to Latest

If you're seeing a red, green or orange circle instead, that means your Chrome is outdated and needs to be upgraded to the latest version. After the update, the Chrome will be offering a better user experience and the menu button will be back. If the menu bar is truly missing, you can type "chrome://settings/help" in the address bar to see whether there is an update available.

 

 

Solution 3: Close and Restart Your Computer

Or, try to force quit Google Chrome and restart your computer. For Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP, press and hold down "Control", "Alt", and "Delete" keys together to launch Task Manager. For macOS X/Sierra/High Sierra, press and hold down "Command", "Option", and "Escape" keys at the same time to launch the "Force Quit" window.

 

 

Solution 4: Use "chrome://settings/" Instead

If you want to access and change settings in Chrome but find no menu bar, you might as well use "chrome://settings/" instead. Just type "chrome://settings/" in the address bar and click the "Enter" key to direct to the settings page.

 

 

Solution 5: Remove Incompatible Extensions

The Chrome Menu button missing issue may be caused by an incompatible extension. If the problem occurs after you install an extension lately, just remove it. Or, use the incognito window for help. If you can see the Menu bar in the incognito window, that means a faulty extension must be responsible for the issue. You can press "Shift" and "Escape" keys to launch Task Manager in Chrome and then end the process of a possible extension to check whether the problem is resolved.

 

 

Solution 6: Reinstall Google Chrome

Another possible workaround is to reinstall Google Chrome on your Win or Mac. This solution works for many people on Google Support forum. Therefore, you should really give it a shot.
