Tried that. And it still happened.

So then I had a brainstorm and uninstalled the Dell Display Manager Software that came with the monitors. And, voila', the red box and issue vanished.

So displayfusion was not the cause, and all is well.

Thanks for the suggestions. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f#4 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 20:00:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f#4 DisplayFusion Sorry, I should have clarified. If you do the following, do you still get this red box and the issue occurring?

• Exit DisplayFusion completely (check Task Manager to make sure DisplayFusion.exe is not running)
• Drag a window across the monitor

DisplayFusion shouldn't be drawing any sort of red boxes or anything like that, so I'm trying to determine whether this is actually being caused by DisplayFusion on your machine.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f#3 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 20:31:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f#3 DisplayFusion It happens every time I drag a window across the monitors, whether I exit and go back in or not. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f#2 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 17:59:57 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f#2 DisplayFusion I've never run into that before. If you exit DisplayFusion does that issue go away? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:38:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/minimized-window-off-screen-unable-to-get-back/?ID=a5ae2b5a-c689-436a-a252-958746d0745f DisplayFusion I'm running into this problem constantly, and it's driving me nuts.

If I minimize a window to a non-full screen size, and inadvertently drag it over the top of the screen, I see a red rectangle form over the edges of the screen, and then the minimized window can't be brought back of changed. There is no way to get to the top bar of that minimized window, to drag it downward.

In playing around, it appears that the problem starts if I drag a window's top edge either up above the limits of the screen, or drag part of the window across to the second monitor.

Of note, primary monitor is portrait, and secondary monitor is landscape.

How to I prevent this from happening?

I'm having trouble attaching an image, but will try to get a usable one up later. ]]>
