Unwanted navigationbar WPF

I am working on some WPF app with a main window and with some pages, something weird happened to me, "suddenly" when I move from page 1 to page two this toolbar added himself to my window,

my questions: where did this came from? how to remove/ give it better design, I mean where is the source code of this toolbar

Is this default by Microsoft?

enter image description here

Here is my window class def:

<Window x:Class="Tool.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Tool"
         xmlns:materialDesign="http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes"
        mc:Ignorable="d"       
        ResizeMode="CanResizeWithGrip"
        MinWidth="600"
        MinHeight="500"
        Title="Preparation Tool" Height="600" Width="1080" Icon="icon.ico" Foreground="White" >

Where did this came from? How to remove it?

It is a built-in navigation chrome in Frame control. According to Microsoft docs, the navigation chrome is visible when a Frame uses its own journal (see JournalOwnership).

If you don't want that Navigation chrome, you can simply set NavigationUIVisibility property of your frame to Hidden.

<Frame NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden" />

If you don't want history navigation management of the current Frame too, you can set JournalOwnership property of Frame to UsesParentJournal . This makes your Frame use the journal of the next available navigation host up the content tree, if available. Otherwise, navigation history is not maintained for the Frame.

<Frame JournalOwnership="UsesParentJournal" />

Or give it a better design? I mean where is the source code of this toolbar?

In Visual Studio (or Visual Studio Blend that I prefer for UI design stuff) simply right-click on your Frame and then select Edit Template > Edit a copy and put copy of Template in a ResourceDictionary. Then you can modify the template which it's key is FrameNavChromeTemplateKey.

Is this default by Microsoft?

Yes.

P.S. Do not forget that when you set NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden" and JournalOwnership="OwnsJournal", history management for Frame itself is still available and you can navigate between pages with commands like Next/Prev mouse buttons.

You can easily hide that: 

<Frame  NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden"

But you should use contentcontrol instead of frame and usercontrols instead of pages.
