    My browsers are hidden


    I'm not sure if this is even a Windows 10 problem. I've had this issue for a while, and I used to have to restart (or wait) to get it to resolve.

    When I try to open either IE or Chrome, the icons appear at the bottom of the screen and if I left-click it a small browser window is visible right above the icon, but it won't open normally. In the past I tried various combinations of the arrow keys and cntrl,alt, the windows button, etc. and once or twice I got it up there.

    The problem used to happen after I already had a browser open and then wasn't active for a while. Now, like I said, it's there from the get-go.

    Hello laurijst, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    It sounds like they may be offscreen. If so, then you might see if you may be able to drag them back on screen using the method in the tutorial below.
