Game is open and running in Taskbar, but not visible on screen.

Hi Angelito47x,

I'm Amr, an independent advisor.

Method 1

Right-click + shift the program icon in the taskbar > select Move.

Your mouse cursor will now jump to wherever the program is (somewhere off-screen). While holding down the left mouse button, move the mouse around until the program comes into the display.

Alternatively, you can use the cursor keys to do the same thing.

This may take a few tries as you will not know if the mouse has jumped either up-down-left or right.

Method 2

The other option is to locate the program settings in the Windows registry (most modern programs don't use this type of X-Y positioning). I will use Notepad as an example. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Notepad. You will see several DWORD values that denote the Windows Position (measure by pixel position). These values indicate where the notepad was in relation to the desktop display when it was closed. To reset, you would simply delete these values and then launch Notepad to bring them to the center of the main display.

May I ask how this happens in the first place so I don’t do it again. Same thing happed to me but I was able to fix it because of your help

I have no words, oh my!!! I found the problem... I have not turned off the expansion of my 2nd monitor and I turned off the monitor, too that's why I can't see the visuals... thank you for this!!!

Hey there! Well I don't know if you're having the same problem that I had, but the issue I was having with my game was that in the game option menu I found out that in the display option I had the game display to second monitor which I didn't have causing the game to be display somewhere else. I fix it by opening a small tab of the game and navigate to the game option menu from the small tab and toggle it off. I'm still surprised on how I did it. But like I said I don't know if this is the same problem that you're having?

Thank you for the information! Sadly none of these method resolved the issue. It was actually one of the game menu option that was causing the problem which I luckily fixed, even though it was tricky. But I am grateful for the response and I'll keep it in mind in the future as well as share it with other people.
