How to Fix the Windows' "Ghost Monitor" Problem

How to Fix the Windows' "Ghost Monitor" Problem

Want more productivity from the workday? Multiple monitors can help you achieve this goal. You might run into the problem of “ghost monitors,” though, where your PC believes you are connected to screens when you’re not. If you experience this problem 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 Macro Systems! We’re always happy to help.
