I have windows 8.1, i've attached a screenshot of the desktop, with ARC open over other windows applications.

I don't have close, minimize, maximize buttons on the ARC window, neither i can move the window or resize.

maximize, minimize or restore is only possible via the ARC application buttons.

I don't see the ARC's windows frame

is this normal ?

It's very annoying and is a pain to access other applications in the desktop.

Hmm... I was mistaken in my previous answer. I just turned off full screen mode and I have a normal border/header/and control buttons. Moves, minimizes and maximizes just fine on my Windows 7 and windows 10. I don't have a Windows 8.1 machine anymore because Windows 8.1 sucks

I wonder if there is some key combination that removes the border or if this is unique to Windows 8.1.

Until we figure it out, try Windows-up arrow to maximize, windows-down arrow to restore or minimize, and windows left or right to pin to half the screen.

It's possible that the border is still there but shrunk down to 1 pixel. This is supposedly the min border width windows allows. Why this would be just with this one window, who knows. Perhaps if you carefully click the mouse right at the very top of the window you might be able to grab it. If it is that problem, there are many articles on the web for changing the border size that could help restore it.
