Opened Program Not Appearing on Screen

If you open a program & the icon on the taskbar indicates it is open but there is nothing on then screen.

This happens occasionally when Microsoft thinks you are connected to a second monitor when you're not, so the window is on the 2nd non existent monitor.

To move the window onto your screen:

1. Hold down the Shift key, then right-click on the appropriate application icon in the Windows taskbar.

2. On the resulting pop-up, select the Move option.

3. Begin pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the invisible window from off-screen to on-screen. Typically, you will use the left arrow to move the window from right to left.
