Paraview failed to show window on a multi-monitor setup, There will only be a blank window and can only be viewed in the taskbar thumbnail. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
I have attached a log generated by Paraview with MAX verbosity

It seems to be a general bug that all Kitware app suffered. For me, both cmake-gui and Paraview have this bug.
The solution is easy, delete Kitware related registry under
Computer\HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software
solved the issue.
