Music messed up after Monterey update

I updated my M1 iMac today to Monterey 12.3, but afterward, Music loads unusually, without the three buttons at top left, and obscures the menu bar at top of desktop. I restarted twice, then in Safe Boot mode, but does not fix the issue.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.3

Media Playback In Monterey Is Painfully Glitchy..... Monterey is not playing back any media. I noticed it the other day however the issue resolved itself after a reboot, but now it's back again. Songs via the Music app show that it should be playing after you click "play" - but the slider doesn't advance. And hitting the spacebar to preview a song or video in Finder yields the same result. The video content appears still and silent. Quicktime also does not play music or videos. I tried to see if creating a new user account would help remedy the issue, but it was still there. This is a new 2020 edition Mac Mini. Anyone have the same issue and/or found a resolution?

Unwanted music playing I just purchased a Mac Air M-2 and migrated everything from my old Mac without any problem. When I opened Music for the first time, a solo piano music started up that is not mine. It continues with many songs, all music, the quality of elevator music. I have no way to stop it. It over rides any video or my own music, and even plays blended in on those. I contacted Apple support this morning, and it took about a hour for them to get it to stop, but they had to have me start up in safe mode, then enter my computer to do it. After a re boot it was normal. Now this evening it has started up again. Do I need to return this Air or is there a solution?

I figured it out. Music came on in Full Screen mode. I shut that off in the pull down menu. Thanks anyway.
