How To Move Off-Screen Windows Back To Your Desktop


I just found an easy solution for moving application windows that have somehow ended up off-screen back to the middle of a monitor where you can see it.  It was such a nice fix, I just had to share it!

  1. Alt-tab to get the offending application as the active application in windows
  2. Go to the taskbar and right click on the application and choose ‘Move’
  3. You cursor will now changes shape to one with arrows at each corner.  Now just use your arrow keys to move the hidden app to where you can see it, and the problem is solved!

With some applications there isn’t a Move option in Windows.   Don’t worry, because for these applications just do 1, but use ‘ALT+SPACE+M’ to activate Windows Move option.

    I’ve been wondering how to use the Move function for a while now. Now I know! Thanks. Now, if I can just remember it the next time I lose the app below the task bar… LOL.

    Thanks.
