One drive dialog box way off to the right side, I cant move it over to see it?
I dont think it should look like this?
I took a print-screen cause snipping tool makes it go away

I can't grab it or move the window.

Select the window.

Hold down the Windows key, and press the left arrow key.

That is not working, I can bring up the window, I can not select it at the top, I can click on the lower left of that form window to open file manager showing one drive.
To open that form window, I click the taskbar ^ and open the cloud icon, then it shows up on the extreme right of the screen

sdowney717 · Feb 28, 2022

took another snip maybe you can see it better, it is stuck over there

sdowney717 · Feb 28, 2022

Can it be uninstalled and reinstalled to fix this?
Can I change screen resolution temporarily to fix this?

sdowney717 · Feb 28, 2022

HAH, the one drive form is not movable! Proof, and also there seesm to be a bug here.
I have screen on this HDTC set to 1824x1026, it forces on drive popup panel way over to the right.

If I set screen to 1920x1080, the one drive popup moves over to the left to become usable.
Now I dont know which resolution is native here....What do I do?

sdowney717 · Feb 28, 2022

Well, I set the scale back to 125% as when I switch to 1920, windows sets scale to 150% and not used to that,
But at 125% everything is smaller than 125% at 1824.
So it is still not the same screen experience.

Why is One Drive form so heavily affected, and I dont notice anything else being a problem at 1824x1026??

I think maybe, developers dont test at rare resolution settings the screen.
Change your resolution and see if you can duplicate this.

sdowney717 · Feb 28, 2022

Well, I set it at 1920x1080, 125% scaling and text size of 118% so I will leave it there.

And bizarrely one drive form window is in the right spot, over to the right and fully visible, no longer in middle of the screen or impossibly unusable off the screen to the right

Ever since I messed with these settings, some things that used to be clickable, no longer are clickable.
including oddly edits to forums including this one. But it is random as right now it is editable.
I can post, then try to edit the words, and I can't, not clickable.
I have to close the web tab, reopen to edit. Sometimes on others forums, an edit click will open the edit window, but there wont be a cursor to place on text.
This is not the only noticeable change, Contacam,s web server pages in the browser, some on screen controls no longer function. Like the up arrow to take you back the main list of videos when your playing a video.

Maybe should restart the PC

sdowney717 · Feb 28, 2022

Yes, that fixed it, the icons are again clickable in Contacam's webserver video pages.

A lot of posts after this, but you missed the point.

You need to select the window as active. That can by done by clicking anywhere in the visible portion. You don't need to be able to click on the top. (If you could click on top, you wouldn't be having the problem.)

Once it's active, you can use windows + arrow to bring it back onscreen.

Ok, I just tried it, and that does not work.
Now for some reason, one drive form window has shifted to the left, it is wandering?

It is moving on it's own, and I can not move it. Click on window, then press windows key and arrow left or right does nothing
This is not a movable window for me, is it for you?
I start by on the task bar, click ^, then click one drive cloud icon, and it pops up, seemingly wherever it feels like.

I marked it solved as I can now see it, but really not solved if I cant move it when it is way over yonder.

I don't use OneDrive.

Winkey + arrow certainly works with a File Explorer window, or a Control Panel window.

Winuser · Feb 28, 2022

@sdowney717, When I click on OneDrive it shows on the far righthand side of monitor 1 and can't be moved.

sdowney717 · Mar 1, 2022

It seems to have settled down for now, a few inches away from the far right side of the TV screen. It's window placement absolutely is affected by changing the screen resolution, at least on my PC. Now I had not run it since upgrading this PC to version 11, as I dont really use it since it is always out of space.

I found a very simple solution to this. As stated by the OP, clicking on the partially viewable window and using the left arrow does nothing.

I just toggled the OneDrive icon in my task bar from hidden to visible, and it popped back into my screen. Toggled it back to hidden, and there, it jumped mostly off screen again.

Hopefully this might help somebody facing the same issue.
