Windows Solutions
Solution 1 - Windows
This worked for me and it's easy..
- Hover over IIS taskbar icon.
- Right click on miniature popup.
- Click on Maximize.
Solution 2 - Windows
In a command prompt:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\Inetmgr.exe /reset
This problem occurs when I open IIS Manager and when I have two monitors, and then later try to open it again over RDP with only one monitor. Using this reset command fixes it for me.
This works on RDP sessions which do not preview the window from the taskbar and thus cannot perform Abhijeet's steps.
Solution 3 - Windows
It should be in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv.
If its not there go to
control panel -> programs -> Turn Windows Feature on/Off...
Then you will see a list of features, IIS should be one of them. If you expand the selection there is an option to turn Management tools on and off.
IIS Management Console should be checked.
OR
Open the Command Prompt and type Iisreset /noforce
If this errors out IIS wasnt installed correctly or was not installed at all.

Solution 4 - Windows
I got the same issue with my iismngr.
But I didn't had the "move" button available, I clicked on "Extend" and the windows showed up.
Feel so dumb...
Solution 5 - Windows
In my case, the IIS process was running, but the IIS Management window was not showing.
Click on the taskbar IIS -> Right-click on the thumbnail of the screen -> Click on the Maximize option.
It happens if you use multiple monitors.
