Windows will not close on desktop

The X does not work. I have to use CTRL+ALT+DEL to close windows then that
window on menu bar. How can I fix this err?

What's the history of the problem? Did it start suddenly recently? If so
what changes were made between the time things worked and now. Undo the
changes. Uninstall any new software. Then if needed do a system restore to
a point when things worked ok.
