Can't open skeletal mesh or animation editors

I attempted to rename a folder with a large amount of content. UE 5.4 crashed and when I restarted it, I was unable to open the skeletal mesh and animation editors. It doesn’t crash, but nothing appears to happen. I discovered by accident that UE does open a second window, but it’s blank. It shows only when I point to the UE icon on the toolbar (see below:)

I assumed something had gone wrong in the engine, so I uninstalled UE 5.4 and reinstalled it. No luck.
I’ve Imported some characters from Character Creator and need to fix the hair shaders, but I can’t, so I’m really kinda stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem Solved! The window had somehow been resized.

Hey! Just wanted to say this solved my problem. Have no idea what caused the window to be resized to be too small that you cannot see it.
For anyone who has this problem in the future, Select the window in the task manager, then press Alt + Spacebar, then select Maximize.
