This brings back the hidden window to the viewport in most cases. Press Winkey + D to toggle (show open windows).If your program windows are opening offscreen and not visible, you can restore the hidden window into the view area, using one of these three methods: Method 1: Toggle Show desktop twice Program windows open offscreen even in a single monitor setup? This also applies to desktop icons which were earlier moved to the 2nd or extended display. That brings back all the windows to the viewport of your primary display where ever they were before. If you’re not extending the display, but using only the second monitor which is the case of many laptop users, select Second screen only. The quickest way to show all open program windows in your primary display is to press WinKey + P and choose PC screen only. Restore Off-Screen Windows to the Viewport So it’s a per-application window position thing, rather than the Operating System remembering the program window and screen position. I verified it with a small program I wrote which doesn’t save window settings. In the case of applications that don’t store the last window position, they default to the primary display when opened. So, later on, you forget to switch on the 2nd monitor and don’t realize that your programs are showing up there.įor example, Notepad updates its last window position in the registry:Įrasing those registry settings would cause Notepad to show up on the primary display. When you move a folder or program window to the extended display and then close the window, the window position (x, y) is saved (by most applications). This happens if you had extended the display to the second monitor earlier, moved the program windows there, and forgot to switch back to the single monitor setting.
