Ever since I downloaded QGIS 2.2 I can't get the georeferencer plugin to open. I've removed all older versions of QGIS & reinstalled & have just installed 2.8.6 but am still having the same problem. I select Raster -> Georeferencer-> Georeferencer but no window opens. Has anyone else had this problem & is there a solution for it?

I do not know if it is a stand alone or a OSGeo4w install, try uninstalling qgis and this also: gis.stackexchange.com/questions/152873/…. The try installing again and hopefully it will work– Gerardo JimenezCommented Feb 18, 2016 at 15:24

I have done all of this and it's still not working. When I downloaded QGIS again it told me 2.8.1 was still installed even though I can find no traces of it on my laptop– MikeCommented Feb 24, 2016 at 12:40

I just updatded my Qgis 2.85 installation to 2.86. This what I did. uninstall qgis. Follow the link I provided earlier to make sure no traces of the older version were active. Download and Install Qgis 2.86. At the beginning of the installation procedure the installer told me that I have 2.85 installed I click accept and the installation began and finished. No I have 2.86. I opened georeferencer without problems.– Gerardo JimenezCommented Feb 24, 2016 at 15:05

A colleague was having this same issue on his Win 7 laptop with v. 2.14. Turns out the window was being placed off screen.
There are some other solutions on these threads (1, 2) requiring some Registry Edits; but in our corporate setting we can't access Regedit.
We solved using the Windows & arrow keys to move the window; i.e. keep pressing: Win+← until it appears.

This was what was happening to me while using the Georeferencer itself. The Enter Map Coordinates window had somehow become hidden by the Georeferencer window, and it wasn't being brought forward when adding a new GCP.– Nick K9Commented Dec 29, 2023 at 12:53
I just had this issue with 3.4 Madeira. So I installed version 3.6 Noosa and found the same issue. I work with dual monitors a lot and after a long time trying to figure out how work with the regedit.exe (never figured it out) I decided to check display settings. I moved the monitors such that it went from Mon 1, Mon 2 to Mon 2, Mon 1 and got the georeferencer window back. Hope this may help others who are less computer literate like myself.
Check your QGIS3.ini file located in
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\QGIS\QGIS3.ini
Search for the section called [Plugin-GeoReferencer]
See if the variable "pos" has e.g. some large values assigned. By setting the coordinates of the window to 0 you can "reset" the position:
pos=@Point(0 0)
