      After the last windows 10 update (171121), clicking the the window resize button (double box) causes the window to vanish. NP++ is active in the task manager but does not display. Clicking the icon in taskbar does not bring the window back. killing the process and restarting NP++ does not bring the window back. uninstall/install does not bring the window back.

      What should I try next?

        welcome to the np++ community

        what is your current native screen resolution and your scaling factor ?
        (you can try to change it temporarily to max 1920x1080 with 100% scaling not more, to see if it fixes this)

        you could also try to open at least 2 applications including the non visible np++
        right click on the task bar
        select “cascade windows”
        this would fix it if windows 10 places the np++ window at x/y coordinates outside your viewable area
        (this would explain why np++ is still not viewable after a uninstall/reinstall as windows keeps track of the last position within it’s own registry entries)

          Hi

          The resolution is 1366x768, 100% scaling.
          With cascaded windows, NP++ does not show although the task shows up in task manager.

            do you see the notepad++ bar on the task bar ?

            if yes maybe you get the window back if you click on it and press
            [windows key] + [cursor left]
            or
            [windows key] + [cursor up]

            but if you don’t see the np++ bar on the task bar either, i’m out of ideas

              Yes! Windows key and cursor left popped up the notepad window! Now why didn’t I think of that?

              Thank you, NP community.

              I have been using NP exclusively for years. Love it.
