Discord Windows app draws offscreen and can't be moved

pizzaboy192

When using Discord on a multi display system (ex: laptop with dock) with Discord on Display 2, and then remove the display, discord will still draw on Display 2 which is no longer visible.

The typical fix is to right click the window and choose "move", but there is no way to right click the window, so cannot move it back.

Reloading discord still draws it on Display 2.

    Yeah me too, had this problem for years. I also had it where the windows draws outside of the monitors even when I shift to underscan the resolution. Too bad clearly no one wants to help with this problem that shouldn't exist. It should be integrated with shift+right clicks menu.

    I'm having this problem right now. Discord is UNUSABLE like this. I don't understand why the various features built into Windows' windows are disabled like this.

    Reading other advice, in Reddit this time, I selected the app and clicked Win+Down, which minimized the window. When I clicked the app in the taskbar, it restored onscreen with the titlebar at the top of the display.

    Hey guys if you are using a gaming mouse this is the cause, or was for me. try jsut switching your DPI and it worked fine for me. The mouse is whats bugging out, not the app. if your not using a mouse where you can change the dpi on the device itself, try changing in settings

    The only fix I found was to use a program i have called WinSplit. I use it to split my windows in to different sizes. Once installed setup the Hot Key. I use Ctrl+Alt and the numpad buttons. Then just use Ctrl+Alt+ Num Pad 2 and it should move it down and let you get back to the bar at the top to move it around.

    Hope this helps

    Use the mouse to select the Discord icon on the Taskbar. Release the mouse.

    Press ALT+SPACEBAR.

    Press the M key.

    Works every time.

    if you are using windows 10 you can do this to get it back. 1. left click discord so it has a white/gray background. 2. press ALT+spacebar. 3. press maximize. you should be able to grab it and move it anywhere on your screen again. I hope this helps!

    Just use windows up to go fullscreen then move it.

    STILL a problem, windows key + arrows doesn't help. Had to select on taskbar, alt + spacebar, maximize from there.
