I recently changed monitor size from 1080p to 4k. ArcPro keeps opening dialog boxes like progress bar windows halfway off screen; it won't remember its location if I move it where it's visible. This keeps confusing me because it looks like ArcPro is idle if I forget this new behavior.
I've tried looking at the registry but found nothing relevant.
Hi there everyone, I was having a similar issue, especially after changing my display settings on my laptop and monitor. I know the alt+spacebar+m worked for many people but it did not help me. I reached out to my company's IT department and they gave me a solution that has worked well so far! Navigate to your AppData folder, under local (not roaming), go to ESRI, and then change ArcGISSettings.xml to ArcGISSettings_old.xml. (This will reset your toolbar settings). Open ArcGIS and hopefully your problem will be solved longterm! 🙂
in case anyone is like me and working through a remote desktop, using the built-in onscreen keyboard utility allowed me to use Alt + Spacebar to move the off-screen dialog box instead of it just working on my physical computer

Thanks, this saved me when my color editor appeared halfway off screen!
Alt+Spacebar, M, down, down, down, down, down!
Thank you! Alt+Space+m allowed me to move the Custom Sort dialog back on screen so I could use it! This issue happens to me when I change monitor configurations between office and home. At least now I know how to move the dialog back to where it's usable.

Untested.
I was able to get help from Esri tech support on this. They were very helpful. They performed a soft reset of ArcGIS Pro without uninstalling. They were able to preserve my Favorites, while deleting other settings.
Case number was 03457608
This doesn't seem to work for me with the pop up for creating a project from a template.
I'm still seeing this issue in October 2023 - especially creating new projects or trying to open templates.
Is there a current solution for this?
@HollyTorpey1 Thank you for that tip. This was the only thing I could find that worked after lots of searching and trying other ideas. The paste-special pop-up would not budget until I tried the alt+space+m combination.
I never did. I ended up changing jobs and getting a new computer. That solved the problem, but there must be an easier way!
Mine is doing the same thing. Has anybody found a fix?
Same issue here, same level of frustration. My workaround (which I gratefully found somewhere online but now can't remember where) is to press alt-space and then the 'm' key, which then allows you to use the arrow keys to move the dialog box back onto the screen. I would love to find a way to eliminate this issue and force all dialogs to open completely onscreen, though.
Mine does this too and it is incredibly aggravating. I have no idea how long things will take to process sometimes or whether it even register a mouse click because I cannot see the dialog box. Super, duper frustrating.
