I Can’t See the Top of a Window, so I Can’t Minimize, Maximize, or Close. What Can I Do?

✴️ Sometimes windows can get positioned offscreen where your mouse can't reach. The keyboard interface, on the other hand, can.

✴️ Moving an off-screen window
Windows has a powerful keyboard interface that can be used for many, if not most, operations. You can move an off-screen window by making it active and typing ALT+Space to display the system menu. You can then choose Move and use the arrow keys to move the window into view.
