Did you also enable VNC? There was a bug in the initial release of Stretch 
which makes the menu bar disappear when VNC is enabled.
To fix run these commands:
Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade

Note.... If you are stuck without a menu bar then press [Ctrl] [Alt] [F6] to 
get to a command prompt.
