Local was working “normally” and yesterday it prompted an update. Ran the update and now the Local window is above my screen and I cannot access it.

When I click the icon in the task bar I can see it animate open/closed but it goes above the screen (I have a single monitor).

I’ve restarted the program, restarted the computer, used windows’ “Cascade Windows” option, used “Snap Program to Left/Right” and nothing seems to show the app.

Any ideas?

I’m sorry that this is happening to you, that definitely sounds frustrating!

I wonder if there’s some sort of configuration issue? Can you try:

1. Open Local’s configuration directory. On Windows, that’s `C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Local`

2. Quit Local

3. Try either updating the `window-state.json` file, or even deleting it

4. Restart Local and see if that fixes things

Here’s a screenshot of that file on my Mac:

This worked! Deleting the file didn’t solve the problem but editing it and changing the x,y values and setting fullscreen to true did.

Thank you!!
