    My secondary windows (output, find results, ... ) are all misplaced. For example, when I do a search in files and I click on a result, instead of showing the code window in a new tab next to my other source code windows; it opens up a tab in the search window. (if it makes sense) Any Ideas ?

      What version of VS?

      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

        The latest (not preview version) It looks like the windows are all tools windows or all are not tools windows. alt-tab cycles between all of them.

          I thought there was an option in Tools/Options to reset the window layout. If that doesn't work, you can do a Repair from the VS Installer, and that will surely set everything back to the way it was out of the box.

            Try Tools/Customize; down should drop the list of (most unticked) options for the interface look. Mine's defaulted at "standard", the only ticked box. But there's a hayrick-load of other untested to toss your implements into and have a go. (have not tried this suggestion ... too timid a developer I'm afraid)
