If someone is stuck

Fast checks

Are they in-session when pressing Alt+K?
Did they recently change resolution, triples, VR mode, or window mode?
Is the widget simply off-screen?

Good “clean reset” approach

Disable extra tools temporarily
Join a session
Alt+K → reposition the widget → save
Exit session and re-enter to confirm it persists
