    The ONLY thing I was able to get to work was this -

    **note i use 3 monitors**

    You ned to go into your display settings and move your layout around until you find the program on the screen then you finally have acces to it again. in order to find roughly where it was I spam clicked the program in the taskbar trying to find a sliver on the window expanding.

    I hope this helps.

    Change the screen resolution, it will force all the apps into the current screen, drag them into the center and then change it back to the default or whatever resolution you where using, done

    There is a simpler solution, provided the application is not minimized.

    The issue sometimes occurs when you switch screens or project your display. And here’s the key: if you access the display settings (right click on the desktop), reduce the zoom scale to a lower setting, and then restore it to the original resolution, the application will re-center itself. you can try the inverse, increase zoom and than go back to the original.

    This suggests that the functionality to re-center all windows is already implemented in Windows 11 when adjusting the zoom scale. It’s simply a matter of automating this process with a dedicated button.

    That said, Microsoft is unlikely to implement this — it’s too straightforward.

    Hovering over the app on the taskbar does not work as you say it should. No option to Move is shown.

    yes true, but it still works, even if you dont see it until the window comes in sight.

    I do agree with what many pointed out though, that this should be easier.
    The old "cascade all windows" into the current home screen option should be brought back! just making a hotkey for that cant be so hard no?

    The shift right click method works, but it just opens an old white box in windows xp style, which seems like a very unelegant solution to the problem xD
