ArcPro dialog boxes showing up halfway off screen

[JakeJohnson]

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.

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?

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

Untested.

Indicate if dialog with exclusive focus is open off-screen

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

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! 🙂
