Open the command line and change the directory to your visual studio install directory.

Answer 6

Are you using multiple monitors? Or were you at some point, and no longer?

I have noticed the Project Properties window opening on the wrong monitor sometimes. So maybe it does open it but in the old position.

To test this, open VS, open your solution, right-click on your project and select Properties. Now press [Alt+Space], [M], [Right-arrow] and now move your mouse around. The window should move to your current monitor.

There is also a Window->Reset Window Layout menu, which you could try, but it doesn't seem to affect the Project Properties window.
