On Windows 10 the application window is nowhere to be seen.

See original GitHub issue
  • Insomnia Version: 7.0.0
  • Operating System: Windows 10

Details

New to insomnia recently installed don windows 10.

Just tried opening the application again today and was presented with… nothing.

The app is visible on the task bar I can minimize maximize and quit but cant see the window. Close and re-opened the app multiple times.

Ended up doing an old work around in rare cases when apps go off the screen, hit alt+space, m, arrow then move the mouse. This opens the window menu and select s move and the arrow key then binds the window position to the mouse. This let me get the app window and pull it into view and seemed somehow the app window was moved off the screen downwards.

I am not sure how it ended up off the screen to begin with, maybe I was running a higher screen resolution at some point and it remembered its position when I closed it and then I changed back to a smaller screen resolution before opening it again.

If your Insomnia App is loading off screen after Windows update KB4515384, make sure app is actively selected and press ‘F11’ this will load it in full screen. Fastest work around I have found…
