Tip of the Week: Getting Windows Off Ghost Screens

If you want more productivity from the workday, then multiple monitors can help you achieve this goal. You might run into the issue of “ghost monitors,” though, where your PC believes you are connected to screens when you’re not. If you experience this issue and your application windows are off-screen and unobtainable, you’ll find this week’s tip helpful.

Bring Your Windows Back to Your Display

It’s easy to get your windows back. Just follow these steps!

• Right-click on the Windows taskbar.
• From the pop-up menu, select Cascade windows.
• Hold the Shift key and right-click on the application’s icon on the Taskbar.
• When the new pop-up appears, select Move.
• You can then move your windows using the arrow keys.

No longer will your applications be banished to these phantom monitors!
