I have Pandora desktop app on Windows 11 computer. The close and minimize controls are missing from the app window. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still has the same problem. I have restarted the computer as well.

Hi @Stephencf 

Welcome to Community!

Thanks for letting us know about the missing window controls after your Windows update. Our teams are reviewing this issue, and we appreciate you taking the time to report your experience.

In the meantime, depending on your version of Windows and system configuration, you may be able to minimize the Pandora window using one of these options:

• Press Windows key + Down Arrow to restore or minimize the window.
• Press Alt + Space, then select Minimize if that option is available.
• You can also try right-clicking the Pandora icon in the Windows taskbar to see if a minimize option is available.

These options may vary depending on your Windows version and settings, but they may provide a temporary workaround while we investigate.

Thanks for your patience!

Mine are missing too! emailed support on 9/3/26 and they said it was not supposed to be that way and they were looking into it.

Of note, in the Microsoft store (when I reinstalled it 3 times to see if it would fix it) the screenshot of Pandora does not show the minimize/maximize/close buttons at the top anymore either.

Pandora Update: 9/8/2026

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience while our teams worked on this issue.

The community team has received confirmation that a fix has been released for the issue causing the window controls (minimize, maximize, and close) to be missing from the Pandora desktop app on Windows. The fix is included in the Windows Pandora Desktop version 16.1.1.

If you have automatic app updates enabled in the Microsoft Store, the latest version should update automatically and no additional action is needed.

If automatic updates are disabled, or if you’d like to manually check for an update, open the Microsoft Store > Library > Check for updates to install the latest version of Pandora.

Thanks again to everyone who reported this issue and for your patience while we worked to get it resolved.
