Game Launches With Sound but the Window Won’t Appear
Asked by

I'm trying to play PUBG through Steam. The game starts normally and appears as an active icon on the taskbar, and I can hear the audio, but the actual game window never becomes visible. Clicking the taskbar icon doesn't bring it onto the screen, reinstalling hasn't helped, and Alt+Enter doesn't seem to do anything. I previously had a second monitor connected, although it isn't connected now, so I'm wondering whether the game is opening off-screen and how I can move it back to the current display.

It may still be positioned on the disconnected monitor. With the game selected from the taskbar, press Windows+Shift+Left Arrow or Windows+Shift+Right Arrow to move the window to another display. You can also press Alt+Space, choose Move, then use the arrow keys and move your mouse to bring the window back. If needed, press Windows+P and select PC screen only to force Windows to use the connected display.

MellowCedar42: I hadn’t considered that Windows might still be remembering the old monitor position. I’ll try moving the window with the shortcut and switch the display mode to PC screen only.
