Application icon stuck in taskbar (Windows 10)

Updated this week

This could be caused by the Dimensions (other other application) application being minimised or displayed on an external monitor.
​
To restore the application window to the main screen, try the following:

  1. Click on the Dimensions (or relevant application) application icon in the Windows taskbar

  2. Press Shift+Ctrl+Right click

  3. Then from the pop-up window, select Move, Restore or Maximize [if you select Move you will need to use the arrow keys to move the window]

Other options to try are as follows:

  • Click on the Dimensions (or relevant application) icon in the task bar and then press Shift+Win+Left arrow or Shift+Win+Right arrow to move the application window between monitors

  • Click on the Dimensions icon in the task bar and then press Win+Up arrow or Win+Down arrow to resize the application window

  • Right click on Desktop and select Refresh

  • Press Win+M to minimise all application windows and then Win+Shift+M to maximise all windows.

To end Dimensions please go to your task manager and end the session.
Log back in to Dimensions, you may be greeted with a message about the system crash. Press yes to continue to log in.
