    None of the above worked for me. Not even "alt + space".

    What I ended up doing was selecting "alt + tab" to open up the Task Switcher window?

    You'll see every single currently open app. Even if you have "When using multiple displays, show my taskbar apps on - "Taskbar where window is open" selected on the Taskbar behaviors settings.

    Select the app you want to move by clicking it. Don't click anything else after that because you'll risk deselecting it. You might not know you've selected it however because again, it's off screen somewhere as is the taskbar indicator telling you, you've selected it.

    Using the "windows + arrow keys (left or right)" should give you control of where you want the app to be if you've successfully selected if without deselecting.

    Hope this helps someone.

    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.

    other solution, hover any visible windows maximize button until this appears.

    select the half screen for the window you are viewing. and an option to load any other open program in the other half will appear. this will place in on your current monitor and you can adjust from there.

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