I didn't find the Enable 3D Manipulator option in User Preferences > 3D View > 3D View Global in Blender.
Thoughts?

Check User Preferences > Interface tab > Manipulation: option and dropdown.
Note that you can also disable/enable it in the footer of the 3D Viewport.
On:
Off:
Lastly, as metaphor_set points out, you can key Space to open the Search menu and search for Enable 3D Manipulator.

The button for enabling the manipulator is at the bottom of the 3D view. But the bottom panel might be hidden. Then you have to press the plus sign to show that panel:
Note: The manipulator only shows the axes for which the Transform Lock is disabled in object mode. Also, the manipulator is not shown if nothing is selected.

Not all options are in the menu. Hit Space to open the command search and type "manipulator".

$\begingroup$ Perhaps you want to add a screenshot and highlight what you mean exactly by "does not show enable 3d manipulator window"? It's really hard to under stand... $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 4, 2016 at 12:58

$\begingroup$ Shortuct for enabling 3d manipulator is
Ctrl+Space. $\endgroup$– Mr ZakCommented Aug 4, 2016 at 19:00 -
$\begingroup$ neither ctrl-space nor searching for "enable 3d" do anything for me in blender 2.8 $\endgroup$– InnovineCommented Jan 26, 2019 at 15:24
