      I work with 3 screens. When I use them all, i put the ‘find results’ in the 3th screen. After closing and starting desktop and only screen 1 and 2, notepad tries unnoticed to show ‘find results’ on 3th screen in stead of using 1th or 2nd screen. Is this a bug or something to live with.

        Probably considered a bug; you can file a bug report by following instructions HERE if you’d like.

        Workaround:

        Immediately after running a search that should show you the Search results window but doesn’t, press Alt+spacebar, then press m. What this does for me (on Win11, and hopefully for you as well) is put a “ghost” rectangle on the monitor which currently has the mouse cursor on it. You can then move the ghost rectangle to where you want it (by simply moving the mouse – the ghost will follow), and finally left-click to have the real window appear.

        Side note: THIS thread has further info about making non-seeable windows seeable again.
