Window Off Screen-Bring Off-Screen Window Back Onto Screen

While using Microsoft Windows, I had a window that had somehow fallen completely off of my screen. Right-clicking the window in the Taskbar and selecting Maximize brought it back. But there was no way I could restore the window to where I could move it around my screen with my mouse.

Luckily, there are a couple of ways to bring off-screen windows back to the desktop screen.

Resolution Trick:

Windows 10 & 8:

• Start the problematic application.
• Right-click a blank area of the Desktop, then choose “Display settings“.
• Then select “Advanced display settings” at the bottom of the window.
• Temporarily change the “Resolution” to another value, then choose “Apply“.
• See if you can see the window on your screen now.
• Change the resolution back to the previous value, then select “OK“

Windows 7:

• Start the problematic application.
• Then right-click a blank area of the Desktop, then choose “Screen Resolution“.
• Temporarily change the “Resolution” to another value, then choose “Apply“.
• Also, see if you can see the window on your screen now.
• Change the resolution back to the previous value, then select “OK“.

Show Desktop Toggle:

• Hold down the Windows Key, then press “D“. Repeat these steps to see if it makes the window you are looking for reappear.
• Alternately, you can right-click a blank area of the taskbar, then choose “Show the desktop“, then repeat.

Move Option 1:

• First, select the program in the taskbar.
• Hold the Windows Key while pressing Left Arrow or Right Arrow repeatedly to move the window back into view.

Move Option 2:

• In Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista, hold down the “Shift” key while right-clicking the program in the taskbar, then select “Move“. In Windows XP, right-click the item in the task-bar and select “Move“. Well, in some instances, you may have to select “Restore“, then go back and select “Move“.

• Use your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window back onto the screen.

Cascade Windows:

• First right-click a blank area of the task-bar. Then select “Cascade windows“

Maximize:

Most of the time, a single app will get stuck in a state where it cannot redraw onto the Window. use the following method.

• Hold “Shift” and right-click on the program icon in the taskbar, then choose “Maximize“.
