The Advanced Find window of Outlook classic doesn't show on a monitor.

I'm referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4754411/outlook-365-advanced-find-dialog-box-does-not-size. I also have 3 monitors including the laptop monitor, but in my case the Advanced Find window only appears as an icon in the taskbar but nowhere as a window. Alt-Tab lists it but selecting it doesn't show it. I already deleted the Office Finder\Frame value, which didn't help. I assume the window is located outside of all my monitors and using alt-space with M doesn't help as long as I don't know in which direction to move.

    Hi @Milan Hribal

    I understand that the Advanced Find window appears on the taskbar but is not visible on any of your monitors.

    Could you please confirm whether the affected account is a personal account or a business/work account? Additionally, does the issue continue after disconnecting the external monitors and using only the laptop display?
