OneNote Linked Notes Window is docking on top of screen not the side

Somehow,.... I don't know how, my "linked Notes" window has started to dock on top of my screen.  It cannot be moved, sized, or otherwise adjusted.  I've checked the "dock new sidenotes to the side of the desktop" in the options.  I've seen a few other people mention this problem of locating the docking window, but so far no answers.

Thanks for the help

I had the same problem. Dragging the top bar to the right side of the screen while it's docked does the trick. It doesn't look like you are dragging it when you are doing it, but when you release it at the side of the screen, OneNote readjusts to a right-side docked position.

    Worked for me! Go to View and dock page. Drag the top bar across the page that is open below. 

    Thanks!

    Had the same issue.  Would not matter if docking to desktop via the View (as Ruchi suggests), by Linked Notes, or by toolbar; also stuck on top of screen.  SaraBlax's answer below worked - finally something worked!  I have dual screens, but dragging it over to the right column of my second screen reset the docking.  As she pointed out, it does not appear as anything is happening; but it is!  So glad to have this repaired.  Can now begin taking linked notes again (awesome feature for OneNote, by the way)

    this is totally the right answer, thanks! I had the same problem.  the no visual cues is the key. You don't know its happening until it clicks into proper position, then it works.
