Classic Shell: Forum

When I installed Classic Shell 4.2.4 on Windows 10 64 bit, it gave me the possibility to restart or not to restart explorer.exe. I selected "restart it".

During this restart, the screen became black for a short moment and afterwards the start menu and the taskbar reloaded (as expected).

Not expected however was that the window with the Classic Shell installer after that process was displaced: It no longer was in the center of the screen, but it had been moved to the upper left: The titlebar was still visible, but around 80% of the window were so far left that they were outside of the screen. This included all buttons. This would not be a really big problem, if you could move the window back in place, after all part of the titlebar was visible. Anyway, the window could not be moved; trying to move it just did not work. Since I could not see it, I then had to guess, what e.g. pressing enter would do.

This normally does not happen with the installer window.

To move any window that is out of bounds where you cannot see even its title bar to drag it back, you can just make it active by clicking it on the taskbar. Then press Alt+Space bar -> M and you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to bring it back into view.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Ok. I guess this command is not very well known; at least I am using Windows since over 10 years and I did not know that command. Anyway, I did try moving the window (by clicking and dragging the titlebar), but it did not work. The window just could not be moved.
