Hi Anya,

We regret to hear that. But you may have used the wrong shortcut. If you press ALT+W+H instead of ALT+H+W, then it will hide the window. Press ALT+W+U, then select the workbook in the popup window and click OK to unhide the window. Alternatively, you can click on Unhide from the Window group in the View tab.

I suggest you to make sure you are using the right shortcut before using any from next on. How can you do that? Well, if you press the Alt key, then you should see letters beside each tab on the Ribbon as the shortcut to go to that tab. Now press the letter visible beside the tab that you need to go. After that, you should see the shortcut letters visible beside each command on that tab. This way you will know if this is the right shortcut for the task.

Hope this solves your problem. If not then please let us know with details. We will try our best to help you fix that.
