Visual Studio 2017 "Find In Files" - Window does not display

1.7k Views Asked by At

The "Find In Files" window appears not to display at all. I have opened my Solution and tried selecting "Find In Files" from the Edit menu, and also using the Ctrl-Shift-F shortcut. Nothing happens.

Window->"Dock As Tabbed Document" works, but also check that it's not on another screen.

In answers to related questions, it was suggested to select Window->Reset Window Panel. Visual Studio 2017 does not have "Reset Window Panel" but rather "Reset Window Layout". This might work. I actually used Window->"Dock As Tabbed Document" to fix the problem of the invisible window. It may have been there all along and just minimized. In any case, this solution worked.
