Some specific program open in "negative space"

[urville]

I have about the weirdest issue on one of my machines, and only one of them.

I did an upgrade from 7, and then I went back and did a clean install of 10. Now two programs seem to open in negative space.

They arent opening off screen. i have tried setting display options from refresh to size and cascading windows to bring all open windows to the screen. Nothing.

However, when I Alt-Tab, the window is shown clearly. It shows an accurate preview of what is appearing on the screen, selecting it just does essentially nothing. This has led me to believe the windows are opening in limbo (negative space).

I cant figure out a solution, and an extensive search did not yield any solutions, anyone have any ideas?

Did this machine ever have more monitors attached to it than it currently has? And what resolution is it set to currently?

It's possible you can fix this by uninstalling then reinstalling that particular program if you can't grab the window and move it. You can also try this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows/bring-misplaced-off-screen-windows-back-to-your-desktop-keyboard-trick/

Not more than it has now, no. It had 2 and still has 2. There is the possibility they switched the monitors left and right, they wouldnt know if they did.
1920x1080 is the resolution.

Wherever they open, they can not be brought back from by any method I know of.

I will try read/try this link!

That link worked, the move function. The cascade did not work.
