finally even after starting with "emacs -Q" - that is loading "nothing" - the menus disappeared also.

I therefore deleted the whole emacs installation folder (C:/Programme/Emacs) and installed then same

No more problems until now!

This case is closed for me at the moment. I will incrementally activate all functions and see which
one makes problems. Maybe updating over existing older installations caused a problem?
