Ross Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) yeah i get his too, you can shift + right click the icon on the task bar then select move then move your mouse cursor over a tad then press and hold left or right arrow (you'll see why when you do it) also the way i fix it (short term) is to set the resolution to the max monitor res but this wont work on alot of layouts as they are larger than native res.

andrew96 Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 screens are already at top resolution! I don't understand why it shot off the screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy c Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Alls.i can suggest is change your screen resolution to an higher pixel size than the layout then maximize the layout then save change screen res back and it should load as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already at max screen resolution, I just wanted to save the layout as its several hours put into it and all for nothing...... worse still I could do this again tomorrow and have the same thing happen! Is there something I can do to stop this zooming off the screen? why does it do it when the mouse goes no further than the edge of the screen? Can I get back the menu as shown above I used to have? where are those settings? anyone know? cheers and thanks Edited April 25, 2023 by andrew96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew96 Posted April 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Use the Move option in the program’s taskbar icon context menu To move the window back to the viewable area using the keyboard or mouse, follow these steps: Make the off-screen window the active window using Alt+Tab, Win+Tab, or by clicking the program’s taskbar button. Hold the Ctrl and Shift keys down, and right-click on the taskbar button of that program. Click Move. When the cursor changes to 4-sided arrows, use the keyboard arrows to move the window back to the desired position on the screen. After you select Move, you should also be able to restore the window to the desired position by using the mouse. nope I get no options let alone move! that does nothing!

Amusements Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 This happens to me too. Sometimes I do "ctrl alt del" (Task Manager) and left click the ">" and right click on "Maximise". 1 Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be! Fruit Machine <<<My new project!

andrew96 Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 A bit more info on this problem, If you do the editing in the main screen (screen 1) its all fine! the problem seems to be if you have it open on the second screen and go edit it disappears! I had this happen again just now, so went to task manager and selected MFME right click and went to maximise, nothing!! then minimise then when I selected 'bring to front' it came back on screen 1 all fine!! so that's the tip if you update windows 10 to the newer version 10 when maximise just is not there on the taskbar anymore!! Thankyou everyone for your help, at least there is a way to get it back when it disappears which may be useful to others in the future! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
