Find a “Missing” App Window
Every so often, I hear from a Mac user with a seemingly impossible problem: a document window in (some) app is opening somewhere outside of the screen, or “when I open (some) app, nothing happens”. What maybe happening, the window is effectively invisible and they can’t work with it in any way because the window is too far off the screen. Just closing (with File > Close) and reopening the window, or quitting and relaunching the app, or even restarting the Mac won’t usually help because the app will reopen the window in the same off-screen position. The solution is to try various commands in the app’s Window menu, such as Tile, Move, or Zoom. (You may need to choose View > Show All Tabs to get the tab-related commands.) What’s there will vary by app, but with luck, one of them will bring your “missing” window back on screen.
