All of a sudden When i Run some of my App that I have made (WinForm) it moves to the bottom tool bar and will not Maximize. I just have the icon at the bottom. Window state is set to Normal, there's no break points set.
I don't get any errors in the code, they worked properly before.

Any ideas?

What I have tried:

Lots of things very confused Reading the net

You're question isn't and isn't answerable either.

We have no idea what this "some winform" application is. What does it do? Did you write it? What are you doing exactly when you "debug it"? Did you set breakpoints and the code stopped at one of them? The app will not respond or repaint itself at all if the debugger has stopped the code from executing.

Without proper details, it's impossible to tell you anything useful.

Looks like we typed very much the same. :-)

By the way, I'm debugging some MonoGame app here that also does strange things. Can you tell me what's wrong? :-)

This is not very much information you are giving us. Do you really expect a helpful answer?

Ok, then let's guess a little. You say you are debugging and the program does not respond anymore? Could it be that the debugger has hit a breakpoint? Then it would be sitting there and waiting for your input?

Otherwise, the debug process could have crashed. Why don't you simply end debugging, kill the program with the task manager if it still does not respond and start all over?

Hi Member 12349103,

Did you check the WindowState property of the form? I guess it is somehow might be set to 'Minimized'. Please set it back to 'Normal'.

If this doesn't solve the problem please provide more information with screenshots.
