Answer
In FME Workbench, from the top menu bar go to View > Windows and select the window that you are wanting to display. If it is already selected but you don't see the window in your view, it’s possible it may be on a second monitor or it’s missing.To restore your FME Workbench window display to the default settings, follow the below steps for the version of FME you're using:
2022 and Newer
Use the Reset Window Layout option. This can be around in the menu bar of Workbench, go to View > Windows > Reset Window Layout.2017 and Older
- Open the Windows Registry Editor, search for the application “regedit” (see Warning below )
- Navigate to:
- For FME 2017 and newer: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Safe Software Inc.\FME Workbench\Window States\2017
- For FME 2016 and prior: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Safe Software Inc.\FME Workbench\Window States
- Delete the following two keys: "Main Window Layout" and "Main Window Position"
If you’re able to consistently reproduce a lost window, please let our support team know and submit a case for us.
