Two steps will solve that issue: 1) "dock" all open but undocked windows by clicking on the small triangle at the top right corner of each wimdow, then 2) follow: Home > Layout > Default.

Just dock it and it should stay docked next time you open Matlab. There's a downwards arrow menu in the top right of the editor with a 'Dock Editor' option.

In the top right hand corner of the editor screen there should be a drop-down menu. Select the option to dock the script. That should pin your editor back to being above the command window.

There should also be an option from the downward arrow to "restore" the editor if you want it to remain open when typing in the command window. That's what I use so that I can see both at once! I think docking only leaves it there until you start typing in the command window and then it minimizes automatically.

Redock the editor window. You should have an option similar to what is shown here.
You might also try using predefined layouts if they are available in the Home tab.
