MacBook Pro Notes App is offscreen

Hi everyone! I have a weird issue with Notes. The icon is on the dock BUT it appears when I move the mouse to the bottom right screen (see photo). Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

the .plist that holds the window position appears to be this one:


~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Notes.plist


Quit Notes.

Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder


and paste that string in, and press return.

drag that file to the trash.

re-launch Notes, and the .plist should be re-created properly.


if that does not do the trick, you may need to delete a 'saved state' as well:


~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Notes.savedState


.

There may be a few more saved state files as well:


~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Notes.savedState/window_1.data


~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Notes.savedState/windows.plist


~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Notes.savedState/window_2.data
