    I often get applications windows opening slightly or mostly offscreen, and I used shift+right-click frequently to fix that via the "move" option. Now it only opens a new instance of the window or brings it to the foreground.

    I need a way to move windows that are offscreen again. I can't see the top of the app window so there's no way to hover over the maximize button or grab the window and move it. Was this feature accidentally removed? It's really important to have that move window option since there's not much else to work around a window opening off screen.

    None of the above worked for the RAS SecureID app, not even re-starting it, but I found yet another way!
    Launch Task Manager.
    Find the App in question
    I had to expand the entry to get the "child"
    Then Right click the name and the "Switch To" menu is displayed

    Min or Max didn't work for me, but "switch to" did and it popped up in the top left corner.

    Hi dlamy2,
    I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.
    If the app is opening off-screen, select the application on the taskbar and press this combination to move the window to your current monitor: Windows + Shift + Arrow Keys (Left or Right).

    Dear Rodrigo,

    Thanks for teaching me something I was really longing for, and that chat gpt would not have found: a new versy useful hot key combination !
