Lacerte 2024 is not displaying on screen

Have any of you had Lacerte disappear on screen? It shows that 2024 is open in the task bar and in the Task Manager.  I can open 2023 and it displays normally.

So far I've:

Closed all applications and powered down and back up

Run WebSetup/force from the Tool Hub and restarted

Checked the Tool Hub for another fix.  It looks like the Reset Display could work, but when I try to run it for Lacerte and go to select a tax year there are no years to click on. The same thing happens when I click on the Component Repair.

I'm working on a new Windows 11 workstation computer that has been working great with Lacerte for three weeks now.

If anybody has any helpful ideas, I would appreciate it.

Has anything in your monitors/docking system changed recently? I once had a situation where a window was stuck "off screen" (as if I had another monitor, but none were plugged in).  I used these instructions to get the keystrokes to be able to move it back in view on my laptop.

multiple monitors help

Close Lacerte. Press your Windows Key + R. In the Run box, type %APPDATA% and press ENTER. Browse to the Lacerte folder. Find the w24tax.ini and right-click > Rename. Type .OLD on the end of the filename and press ENTER. Re-open Lacerte and it will act as though you reset the display settings using the Tool Hub.

Thank you for sharing this! I've had Support mention processes like these but I've never found them written down for future reference. 😊
