  1. I just spent 1.5+ hrs trying to fix this after a month or so of losing productivity by sometimes having to access most notes most times only in the main window.  Sometimes I could get one or more notes up in child windows but usually by the time I went to them one or twice they would disappear.  I am running Windows 10 and Evernote 10.54.4 (latest). 

     

    I tried all the methods in this thread. Most did not work for me, and no single solution worked for all my windows.  Matt's solution above worked for one note, and the other solution was in a MS thread which I have included below referencing Matt's.  Quite possibly I will find other hidden windows that need new tricks to get them back... until Evernote gets this sorted out and saves us all a bunch of time.

     

    Matt's worked partially (worked to get one of my missing windows back):

    Chiming in here, as I had this problem and nothing in this thread was helpful.  Evernote was "somewhere" off screen.  I could see it via the task bar, Alt-Tab, and the Task View, but nothing would bring it onto my monitors.  Win+Arrows did not help.  Killing the app and reopening it did not help.  Disconnecting all my extra monitors did not help.  Flipping Window Snap settings did not help.  The only way I was able to get the app to come back was to use Win+ArrowRight to snap a DIFFERENT app on my main monitor.  When Windows presented the UI to select a 2nd window to snap left, I chose Evernote and it finally came back.  Wonder of wonders, now that I've found the black magic required to get it to behave correctly, it seems to respect the Win+Arrow keys again.  

    Anecdotally, I know the Evernote team has been on this journey to rearchitect their code base over the last couple years and all that, but man, this application still has odd and frustrating behavior like this that NO OTHER APPLICATION on my machine exhibits.  It's fishy, and smells to me like the application is not conforming to some Windows development standards that virtually all other applications conform to. 

    For a tool that is centered on productivity, it is sometimes very unproductive to use.  Instead of adding a quick recipe like I intended, I instead had to spend my time trolling forums and trying to get it to simply be useable.  This is a very poor user experience.

    To get my last window to display I used this method (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/693740/how-do-i-get-access-to-my-window-need-cascade-wind). But even then, while using this method I had to use my mouse and possibly the arrow keys at the same time... not really sure...:

    Actually found a way.

    • hover over the app's icon on the task-bar. Thumbnails of all its windows will open.
    • Hover over the one that is (partially) off-screen, and right click. The windows "position" menu will open.
    • Select Move and use the arrow keys to get the window back on screen.

    Obviously you would still need a small piece of the window already on screen to see what the arrow keys do.

    Strange though that sometimes even after doing the above methods, the same windows will disappear again, and I have to use similar methods to bring them back.

  2. I am having the same issue (Windows 7, desktop application).  I did not see a resolution on this thread.  Can anyone help me?

    I did find that it is only occurring in the one note.  Works fine in any other note, and copying all text into new note allows it to work fine.  Would still like to know resolution.

    It is possible that I accidentally pressed several different unknown keys when it started happening.
