Developer Tools in Google Chrome not showing

I had the same issue but in my scenario I was on a Virtual Machine with some complex display settings. The procedure here worked for me in other contexts:

  1. You should see the process in the Windows bar on the bottom of your screen.
  2. When you click on it, nothing is shown.

Bring back in the viewport

If the conditions above apply, then the window is simply displayed out of the display viewport. TO bring it back, do the following:

  1. Make sure you have selected the window in the Windows bar.
  2. Hit ALT + SPACE to show the menu
  3. Select "Maximize".
  4. The window should appear in one of your monitors.
  5. Drag it around and resize it.

First thing i would try is closing all processes and restarting Chrome and if that doesn't work i would uninstall and reinstall chrome

I know this isn't really an answer but hope it might help

Goodluck!


You should try also Ctrl+Shift+I for windows as written on the following doc
