    Stop programs from opening off screen


    This is now the year 2023, how hard would it be to make Windows determine the available screen area and make it so programs do NOT open off screen. This is totally ridiculous that this is still happening. I'm not looking for a solution on how to get the programs back on screen, I'm aware of several methods, what I am seeking is a solution to get the programs to NOT open off screen.

    Please give steps to open the paths to Program Files

    If you want to open File Explorer to your C: drive without any registry tweaks, you'll need to do so from a shortcut you create.

    1. Open File Explorer to This PC.
    2. Right-click Winndows (CStop programs from opening off screen :) and select Create Shortcut:

    Stop the open-with-full-screen mode!

    Hi Emero,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    To understand the issue better, I suggest you to answer the below questions,

    • Are you referring that applications are not opening in full screen mode?
    • How exactly the full screen is blocking?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • When are you facing this issue, is it at startup of the system or while working on a program?
    Please post us back with more information to help you better.
