Menu bar won't show in full screen when:

hover cursor at top of screen

• or even when change menu bar settings to always show menu bar.

True in Firefox and in Safari. So can't quickly check time, for instance, unless I leave full screen (by using control, command F).

How can I fix this?

Make changes to Menubar settings...to elicit some change and test, only then come back to you preferred settings ...

no resolve—

—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

*** (if you are using a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.)

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 

I have encountered the same problem, but after restarting my Mac, the menu bar appears in full screen as well.

Try clicking the  in the upper left. Then tap System Settings. Choose Displays, and then Default for your Mac’s display.

Thank you, but default was already selected. Unfortunately this did not fix the problem, even when I chose another selection then returned to default. But thank you for helping me rule that out as a solution and thank you for replying.
