Properties, Project browser not showing after disconnecting other monitors

While I am at work I am running 3 monitors 2 24" monitors and my laptop monitor.  Revit will be on my main display and the Project Browser and Properties window will be on my laptop monitor.  When I want to bring my laptop with my after work I will need to redock my Properties window and Project browser to the main Revit window.  However this weekend I forgot to do this and I can't seem to get my properties and project browser to open on my laptop.  It appears this is a glitch or "Learning oppertunity" inside of Revit where it doesn't force the windows to open on the main display.  When I this happened in the past I was in a location where I could connect to a second monitor and not have to worry about this.  This time I don't have a second monitor to connect to so I can redock the windows to the main Revit window.

 

Does anyone know how to force the windows to open on my laptop display or am I out of luck until I am able to get reconnect to my docking staiton or a second monitor?

 

I have tried:

Using the User Interface within Revit and turning them off and then back on.

Turning off then windows closing Revit, reopen Revit, then turning the windows back on.

I have gone into my nView options to force all windows to open on main display

I have gone to the display setting to make sure it was only seeing 1 monitor "laptop screen"0

 

None of these seemed to help.

 

Revit Version:

2014 updated version

2015 updated version

 

The issue happens with both version and also before the update.

Changing the resolution and/or the scale of the monitor solves this issue in most cases.
