Hi gadug,
I understand that your MATLAB window is not fully visible, and you are able to only see the ‘x’(close) button.
If the MATLAB window is moving towards the left and only the 'x' (close) button is visible, it is likely that the window is positioned off-screen, or its size is larger than the available screen space.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:
- Use the keyboard shortcut: Press Alt+Spacebar and then press the 'M' key on your keyboard. This will activate the window move command. Now, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the window back to a visible position. Press Enter to confirm the new position.
- Reset the MATLAB desktop layout: If the issue persists, you can reset the MATLAB desktop layout to its default settings. Close MATLAB completely and then delete the matlab.prf file located in the MATLAB preferences folder. To see the full path for the preferences folder type 'prefdir' in the MATLAB Command Window. After deleting the file, restart MATLAB, and it should open with the default layout.
Note: Resetting your preferences will remove any Shortcuts/Favorites you had.
- Adjust the display settings: If the issue still persists, it might be due to incorrect display settings. Try adjusting the screen resolution or scaling settings on your computer to ensure that the MATLAB window fits within the available screen space.
Hope this helps!
