Steam Friends/Chat panel pop-out off screen and cannot be retrieved
Windows 10. Can anybody advise of a registry fix to show my Steam "Friends" panel which is off screen and has been for 3 weeks now with no way of getting it back on screen. Have uninstalled and reinstalled Steam to no avail. Absolute madness that I cannot communicate with any friends on Steam using chat because of this!
Cannot right click icon and move from taskbar as that is for the main Steam app, the Friends panel is a pop-out chat panel.
Cannot do the ALT+SPACE trick.
No xy coordinates that I can see in ValveSteam registry.
Have tried setting just 1 screen as primary display (I have 2 screens normally) and neither can get the dialogue box to appear.

Focus the window, then hold windows key + Shift + left arrow or right arrow to force windows to the left or right monitor.

Fair play to Steam support:
- Open the Settings panel in the Steam Client by selecting “Steam > Settings” from the top left menu.
- Select the Web Browser tab.
- Click on "Delete Web Browser Cache" and then select "OK" to proceed and re-test the issue.
Sorted.
