Windows OS cypress remains on second screen no matter what you do

This is a known issue with Microsoft Windows 10 and 11 that is unrelated to Cypress.

You may find the Microsoft support article Some Programs Are Displayed Off the Screen helpful. Or Google "windows move window to current monitor" for a selection of articles and videos on this topic.

• The issue was also reported under #29165.

None of the listed methods for retrieving the window is working. I have never had this issue with any other application and I use different setups daily. Other browsers get brought back to main screen. To me it seems Cypress somehow remembers where it was last used.

I have tried Method 1) There is no option for maximize on the taskbar, but cascade windows does not bring cypress back to main screen. You can see that the app opens to another screen when you press it to be active.

Method 2) There is no option for move.

Method 3) Will not help as I would like to be able to retrieve the app even when I don't have additional screen available.

I have also tried:
Moving the application to another virtual Desktop. Cypress remains on "second screen".

Activating the app screen by clicking on taskbar and pressing windows+shift+arrowkeys. If you have another screen attached in wrong orientation, this works, but if you don't have external screen attached you are not able to move it with these commands either.

Ok it seems that to be able to retrieve the screen when you don't have the second screen what you need to do is

1. Run cypress
2. Click cypress on task bar
3. Press windows+shift+up arrow
4. Then do the cascade windows
