I can start Notepad and it appears in the
task bar but it won't display on the screen.
Most likely its completely off the screen. Just use the move options.
If it's *completely* off the screen, he won't be able to use the move options, smart aleck.

Yes you can, Alt + Spacebar then arrows or mouse, works a treat.

Does the OP use a 2nd monitor occasionally?
I use a PC monitor on display port and a TV set that also happens to
have HDMI.
The TV is on the wall above the desk
Reason being I have CCTV software so I can move the video mosaic to the
TV set and thus keep teh PC monitor clear for real computer work.
I only turn the TV set on when I need to view the video mosaic and I
leave the TV set plugged in via HDMI.
Winodws is pretty good at working out that the effective display changes
when I turn said TV on or off but occasionally Winodws gets itself into
a twist when I start up something and I can;t find it on the PC monitor
even though I can see the task bar button for it.
Solution is to turn TV ok, and use the mouse to drag the window across
to the PC monitor and turn the TV set off.
Interesting.
I do run a second monitor at times but assumed that when I disconnected
the second monitor and rebooted the system would know that there was only
one monitor.

Now back up on the laptop with the new battery.
Connected to the desktop monitor and it is showing Notepad.
I am still confused as to why it doesn't revert everything to the main display when the laptop is running on its own.
