    Program doesn´t open.

    What´s happening here is then I open a program (minecraft launcher) and the program open, it´s in my bar, and I can see the program but I can´t open it. It is running but is always minimalized. I opened the program before. The last time I open it I it was in a second screen, because my pc is a laptop. Can It be because of that?

    plugging back in the second screen will prove your point and allow you to change it back to the laptop’s main screen.
    but if you can’t, when you start Minecraft and just see it in the taskbar, hold down the Windows key on the keyboard and pressing the arroiw keys will move the current program in focus around the screen.
    so for example, Windows+left arrow will change a maximised window to a left aligned window, doing that again will move it the the left screen.
    arrow up to dock it up, repeat to maximise.

        it may be that the Minecraft window didn’t have focus, that is, wasn’t ‘active’.
        what is your Windows version? the Windows key + arrow key only started in Win7 I think.
        but try this, single left click the minecraft program sitting in the taskbar to bring it into focus, then try the windows key+arrow key thing.
        so you can’t get your hands on that second monitor again???

                I puted my mouse in the minecraft tool bar icon and waited for that little window to appear. I clicked in the name above it with the right buton and it opened some options. I clicked in the move option. I moved my mouse to the left and by luck I could see the window. RESOLVED! (sorry about my English) Edit: I didn’t conect my laptop to the second monitor, but i didn’t do that because I am lazy
