I have this problem on WIN32 from time to time.  In my case, I  
believe another windows application (In my case, SQLTools,  
www.sqltools.net) is leaking windows GUI resources so the Windows  
system does not have resources available for other applications.  If  
I close that application, Emacs menus will no longer dissapear,  
without any changes to Emacs (don't even have to restart it).

Other applications are also affected by this GUI resource leak: they  
sometimes refuse to display right-click menus or dialog boxes.  It is  
not that nociceable since most applications allocate the GUI  
resources they need at startup.

Kind Regards,
Alex.
