Tip of the Week: Getting Windows Off Ghost Screens

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!

We hope this tip is helpful in your day-to-day life and that you’ll consider it the next time you encounter a situation like this. Technology can be finicky, and if you ever run into issues you cannot solve on your own (or if you want to remove that stressor entirely), you can contact us! We’re always happy to help.

There’s a lot of comfort to be found in familiarity. It’s why so many of us cling to the way we’ve always done things. It’s the root of the old adage, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” In many contexts, this can be very good advice. One place it isn’t: your business’ technology. Neglecting to improve the technology your business relies on can itself incur significant inherent costs that aren’t immediately apparent. Let’s explore them to truly appreciate the benefits of keeping your business’ tech up to date.
