Android Studio 3 Desktop-Run does not show app-window

I've just updated from Android Studio Version 2 to 3.

Now when I run my desktop configuration the app-window does not appear anymore.

It is visible in the taskbar though and when I hover over the taskbar-icon I can see a litte preview of the app. I tried moving the window with Windows+Arrow-Keys, but no success.

The app is running properly from what I can see in the logs.

Any suggestions?

UPDATE

I figured out a way to get the window on the screen: I have to hover over the taskbar-icon till the preview pops up, then right click on the preview and choose 'move'. After that I have to press any arrow key to make the window stick to my mouse.

It seems the window is somehow beyond the lower right corner of my screen. I have to repeat this everytime I run the app again.

Another problem I've noticed: The window size isnt recognized properly. I have a screen resolution of 3840x 2160. When I maximize the window my app says it is only 1536x801. I didn't have these problems with Android Studio 2

Click on Android Studio button on Taskbar. If Android Studio do not show, hit Alt+Space and click Maximize

This happens to me whenever I use was previously using Android Studio on a external display. It opens and places itself where the connected display "was". I was able to figure out how to get the window to show by following Draz's answer

I have to hover over the taskbar-icon till the preview pops up, then right click on the preview and choose 'move'

But instead of move I click "maximize" and it fills my laptops screen.

This seems to be happening in ver 4.1.1 on Windows 10 and as noted here with prior versions, you need to set "reopenLastProject" to false in the ide.general.xml file. That settings file for version 4.1.1 is located in

\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\options

.

Then you may have to click Settings->Restore Default Settings from the opening dialog. enter image description here

After following the steps above and restoring the window, cleaning the project then saving it would prevent the problem from happening on the next launch!

I use Lenovo carbon, and things of this sort happen often. Too often. I've tried multiple solutions and depending on a day either one of these two fix this issue for me:

  1. running Android Studio as administrator
  2. restarting PC completely
