SSMS shows up in taskbar but is invisible

I came across this very weird issue today. When I open SQL server management studio it shows up in the task bar but somehow it never appears on my screen, even when I do alt+tab to switch to SQL server window, it still shows up in the list of applications but does not appear when I select this application. It even shows up in Task Manager and I can close it from there. I have also restarted my system but without any success.

I did further research and it turned out to be the issue of window being hidden somewhere else. I had attached another monitor with my laptop and SQL window was appearing in the external monitor and unfortunately that monitor was switched off. I haven't been so foolish in my life before.
