PB 2017R3 - windows 10

Was in the debugger, it got messed up and so i had to kill PB.

Restarted PB but now the IDE is not viewable.  seems to be offscreen possibly low left. 

Tried to cascade all windows in windows 10, did not help.  tried to move and even resize the PB ide window with the shift click on taskbar to bring up the move/size.

I can maxmize the IDE window to see it, but that is it. 

Is there a registry setting that has the IDE in invisible mode?

It sounds like it's simply off the screen to me.

Once you've got it maximized, don't use the "Restore Down" control, because that puts it back where it was. Rather, left click and hold the title bar and drag it down onto your screen. Then you should see the normal sized window, drop it and resize it to whatever you want.

The window location is in pb.ini so close PowerBuilder and open the file in a text editor.

Delete the Window setting. In mine it is on line 46. You should find the file here:

c:\users\<userid>\appdata\local\appeon\powerbuilder 17.0
