cmake-gui tries to open but UI not displayed

Question

I've tried to uninstall and reinstall CMake using the last version in Windows. When I launch cmake-gui.exe, the process is started, seems like everything is fine but the UI is not displayed. The preview in the task bar only shows a blank screen but it's not able to display anything.

I also tried running as Administrator, same problem. Any idea? I also checked in regedit variables pointing to CMake cache files but couldn't find something relevant ...

Any idea would be helpful.

Thanks in advance!

In some rare cases the cmake-gui window is displayed outside of the visible screen area. Maximizing the window from the taskbar (right mouse click on the preview image -> Maximize) should place it on the visible area again.
