This issue usually occurs when switching from using the laptop screen only to connecting the laptop to an office monitor. A browser or application window may open outside the visible display area, making it difficult to access or move.

It commonly happens with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, especially after changing monitor settings or reconnecting an external display.

You may need to repeat these steps a few times. Once the window is displaying correctly, restart the laptop while the monitor is connected so that the application opens in the correct position the next time.
