Application appears off screen

AltSpace, M. Then move it.


If you feel comfortable going through the registry, here's a way to reset Notepad's window position:

  1. Close Notepad

  2. On the Registry editor, go to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad

  3. Delete fSaveWindowPositions and/or iWindowPos*


On Windows 8.1, press (Win)+ (left arrow), and the document will appear on the left half of your screen.  Then drag the size a bit and it resets the window position.


I was having this same problem. I didn't try the Regedit method as my work computer is locked down. I tried the alt+space M method but didn't work. I tried the right click move on the Task Manager but there is no such move option on my Windows 7 OS in Task Manager.

So to solve the problem I

  • launched Notepad,
  • opened up Task Manager,
  • right clicked on Notepad,
  • left clicked Maximize

and it appeared on my screen again. I was then able to

  • click on the resize square in the upper right corner of the Notepad window
  • resize and
  • close Notepad.

I then relaunched Notepad and it appeared on my screen again.
