Windows 10: File Explorer Opens but is not visible on the Desktop Windows 10

I open file windows explorer with Win+E and it is visible in the task bar, but it is not visible in the desktop and I cannot Alt+Tab to it. It appears to be on a different screen that I cannot access.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
