Safari

None of the fixes work: Force Quit, update Mac, Close Windows, Click for new windows when re-starting, and all the same Windows open. No "X" to shut down windows. The "X" is gone and Windows just eat up RAM. Ideas?

I understand you want to close an open Safari window. File > Close Window should work, as does its keyboard equivalent ⇧ ⌘ W. Similarly, ⌘ W closes an open tab. If that is not working something is obviously not working as intended.
