Property palette was gone from my AutoCAD 2015 since yesterday.
This is different from the Autodesk 360 uninstallation battle I had recently fought in AutoCAD 2014. With the newer UI updates, it was just about impossible to see, but the properties palette was actually there, but shrunken to invisibility. When I typed "PROPERTIES", if I had the AutoCAD window in "restore down" mode (not maximized to the full desktop), I could detect a very slight (maybe 1 pixel) jump on my right side of the window, but absolutely no lines or edges appeared. When I typed "PROPERTIESCLOSE", the edge of the window bounced back about a pixel. So I figured I would poke around and try to stretch the window edge when the properties palette should have been turned on and sure enough, it was there - all I had to do was unroll it. This is different from Autohide - it is somehow possible to shrink the palette right out of sight.
This same phenomenon used to happen with the screen menu occasionally - but in the vertical dimension. Sometimes the screen menu would be just a short, slim horizontal bar until you poked with the edges to unfurl it. I might have an unusual workspace that could have contributed to this - I use the ribbon in dashboard style - on the right hand edge vertically so as to keep my model space window from becoming like a 1080p movie screen and more like a D sized drawing.
In my searching for information, Google didn't find a direct hit regarding this, so maybe I'm the only person ever to see this? Anyway, I hope this helps somebody searching for an answer.
