    You ned to go into your display settings and move your layout around

    In display settings I get a banner with "The display settings cannot be changed from a remote session".

    The app in question is iconico's magnifier.

    Right clicking the icon on the task bar while holding shift doesn't work either. There is no move option. The app is on my left screen, but in the session I only have access to the right screen.

    So what you do this when right click does not have a "move" option when pressing "shift"? Or when the arrow keys do nothing?

    This was mentioned earlier in this really long thread I think.

    AHA, thank you!

    Shift / Right clicking on the app in the taskbar and selecting "Move" makes the little 4-pointed arrow icon appear, which gave me the illusion that I could click and drag the hidden app window into view, but it's the arrow keys that do the trick. That was stupidly painful! ...but a lesson I won't soon forget. Again, thank you!!

    I actually changed the resolution to a smaller size and the window popped up.
