Problem:

When  using AutoPIPE Vessel with a laptop plugged into a docking station that has a 2nd monitor.  The program will not open up when remove from docking station and reverts back to a single monitor mode. 

How to properly transition between single sand double monitor setups ?

Solution:

This  was reported from a person using Windows 10.  This issue is not repeatable for all users, only for a select few. For unknown reason the second monitor seems always active and consequently AutoPIPE Vessel is not able to move automatically when transition from 2 monitors back to one. 

Workaround:

Option #1:

Right click on icon and select “move” (and then uses mouse or arrow keys to move AutoPIPE Vessel). But this doesn’t work when a dialog is open (e.g. the Licensing Dialog). Instead use the Tab key to move to the Ok button of the dialog but, without seeing the dialog, this is can be very tricky.

Option #2:

Switching to “PC Screen Only” on Windows. Press “Win + P” shortcut key, a panel on left of your laptop will appear. Select “PC Screen Only” and re-launch AutoPIPE Vessel.

Option #3:

Select AutoPIPE Vessel from Taskbar and press key combination "Win + Up Arrow", Please note that "Win + Left Arrow" and "Win + Right Arrow" key combinations would allow you to move selected window across desktop (and on different displays). This might work as an alternative for the Move option.
