[SOLVED] No menubar in KDE

Hello,
I recently reinstalled kde on my PC and now a lot of applications (VLC, OBS) lack the menubar on top of the window.
I looked in Settings > Application Style, there should be a combobox Menubar style referring to videos and screens I found but there is none.
I tried to search on the Internet but there is only a few tutorials showing how to enable it (but I can't).
What can I do ?
Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] No menubar in KDE

After a bit of searching if found this link that seems to correspond to my problem but:
- Editing kate's config file by changing MenuBar value from Disabled to Enabled doesn't change anything,
- Using Ctrl + M or Ctrl + Shift + M has no effect in either VLC nor Kate,
- I still don't have the MenuBar style option mentioned.

Yes I'm telling you to disable that, or do you want it enabled and VLC just loses the menu but doesn't show in global? Can you post a screenshot? Terminal output of vlc?

Oh ok I didn't understood this option was for global menu.
After disabling it everything works as expected
Thank you a lot
