Describe the bug

if I run my test in debug mode I can see the browser and the inspector windows in the task bar, but they can’t be moved or displayed on my screen. I’m using a dual screen, and even on a single screen it’s the same.

How to force the viewport to always start at the same position on the screen ?

I understand this doesn’t help anyone with this issue, but for the sake of providing feedback: It works out the box for me with WSLg on Windows 11 👍🏻

WSL 2 has “native” GUI support for some time, it is called “WSLg”, see microsoft/wslg.
I use Playwright quite successfully with it, but the issue that the Window is not visible (even though the icon appears in the Windows taskbar) has also occured to me sometimes.

But this also happened with Cypress. I am pretty sure it is a WSLg issue, also considering that the workaround of @xpillons above switches from WSLg to a X-Server.
There are many issues regarding Window positioning/appearance in the microsoft/wslg repository, I think WSLg still just has some rough edges…
