Default Fluent interface messed up

Hello,

I was working in Fluent a couple weeks ago and clicked something, I have no idea what, and managed to change the location of my outline view, window, and task page. I can't get them back to the default locations, with outline on the left, the task page to the right of that, and the window to the right of that. I have tried dragging the things to the right location but it will not let me move the outline view or the window. Additionally, now when I initially open up Fluent the window opens partially off the bottom left of my screen. After I fully maximize the page so it fits the screen, I will try to double click on something so it opens the popup window and I can edit parameters, but nothing ever pops up on my screen (like I might double click my inlet zone in BC to change my inlet velocity but nothing shows up).

I feel like these must be connected issues because they started happening at the same time but I am not sure. I am thinking this is probably a glitch and I will have to reinstall. Either way, let me know what you think.

Thanks for the help,
Ethan

If you are using newer versions, say, 19, then there is a small icon on the top right corner, just left of the ANSYS logo. That's what is used for layout setting.

What you are describing can happen if you connected your machine to an extra screen and used Extension of display. Once you remove the extra screen, some of the windows start going to that extra display, which no longer is available.

Thanks vinerm, I think that solved both my issues. I have never used another monitor but the windows are opening on my screen after changing it back to the default layout.
