IntelliJ starts but cannot see it on the screen-CodePudding

I'm on Windows 10. I have IJ Ultimate 2022.01 when I click on the icon in my start menu apparently it starts up. If I go to the task manager I can see the process and sub-processes. When I press Windows tab keys I can see a a tile with my workspace name. Also, if right click on its icon on the task bar and select Close Window I can see the prompt dialog confirming if I want to exit.

The problem is I cannot see the IDE's UI no matter what I do. It seems that Its running but cannot see it

I tried running it from the command prompt by running idea.bat. I can see

but I'm not sure this has anything to do with it

CodePudding user response：

I just hacked my way. Apparently, there was something wrong with my last opened project. This worked:

Open

C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea2022.1\options\recentProjects.xml

and search for opened="true". I moved this to another entry in the file and started the app again.
