What happens if you use the touchpad to hover & click instead of the mouse?

Hover to get the app thumbnail showing, as you did with the pictures, then move over the thumbnail and right click. Chose maximize from the context menu and it should show up. They likely have corrupted location and window size data, which either opens them in a 1 pixel window somewhere or completely off screen.

@JackE sorry on PC, so don't have a touch pad

@billsey have tried the hover and right click only one that works is the close, think you are right that it opens somewhere, just need it to open, is it a virus or malware that has changed the programming, how do I fix it?

Have had it before with steam then they did a update and it worked fine, have uninstalled it and reinstalled a few time now,

With the app showing on the taskbar, what happens when you press WinKey+Ctrl+D?
