My quicken will run only in Maximized. Any other attempt and Quicken disappears. the only way to retrieve the screen is to right-click on the taskbar icon and select Maximized. No other option works, not size or move. Is there a fix? I've tried all the soutions on every support site I've found. W10 pro.

I used to see this years ago with older versions of Quicken & Windows. The Quicken window would only be maxinmixed or minimized. The solution was to tell Windows to cascade or tile all windows and then resize the Quicken window as desired.
Here is a past from long ago which may solve your problem.
It can be tricky. So you might want to try a right click on the task bar with selecting 'Cascade windows.' This will resize all of your visible windows, which you can avoid minimizing by hiding those you don't want resized.

I'm not completely sure, but I think it may have been me who posted that a while back. If that post wasn't mine, I posted something very much like that several times.

This sounds like a problem that used to occur more frequently back in the Windows 95, 98, ME era.
If it is that same old problem, Quicken is running when not maximized, but it its window is off your screen.
The key is whether there is a Quicken icon in your Windows taskbar when Quicken is not maximized. If so, to recover the non-maximized Quicken window (I just tested in Windows 7): a.) hold down CTRL+SHIFT while right-clicking the Quicken taskbar icon b.) in the resulting menu, select Move c.) on the Windows desktop use your arrow keys to reposition the Quicken window from off-screen to on-screen. Since you don't know exactly where it currently is, you probably need to experiment here; use trial and error. In my experience, the Quicken window was usually below the Windows desktop. d.) when the Quicken window appears on the desktop, it may be VERY small; just grab a corner with your mouse and drag it to size.
Sounds like you slid it off the screen. Change Quicken from Full Screen to Windowed, where it "disappears." Shift Right Click on the Quicken tab and left click on "MOVE". Use the keyboard arrow keys to move the window back onto the screen.
Finally, after trying a dozen found solutions including variations on this solution, this exact procedure finally worked. Thank you.

Arthur Conan Doyle is correct: you only need to hold down the SHIFT key while right-clicking the Quicken taskbar icon.
