I used to do that, until I realized I (a) don't know how far it is and (b) don't know whether I'm even moving the window in the right direction.
I typically use the same steps, except that after one or two arrow key presses, I move the mouse around - that seems to immediately "snap" the window into the viewable area.

Hold down the Windows key, and press up arrow, then left. That will make the focused app full screen, then left hand side of your current monitor. The "grab handles" for resizing are then available.
Much quicker than ALT SPACE, M and the cursor movements, since you don't need to know where it might be to start with.
I had this problem when I started making my default apps restore position, and added checks that the app was visible, as well as "Hold SHIFT while starting or ending" to "ignore setting position" and "don't update setting position" respectively.

And not to forget Windows / Alt + TAB to change focus on available instances of whatsoever
just in case the one is not currently focused due to mouse click somewhere else

I have a couple of legacy apps that exhibit a similar behavior...show up in the taskbar but not on the screen. The trick when that happens is to hover over the taskbar 'preview' window for the app, then right-click and select 'maximize'. It was quite annoying when it first happened.

Close all other applications. Then right click and restore the errant application. This will "display" it somewhere on the system. Then right click the task bar and select "Cascade windows". This works about 99% of the time.

I get this all the time but usually behind a crash of the app that's misbehaving; my solution is standard and that's to hit ALT+SHIFT while mousing over the taskbar icon of the app then RIGHT MOUSE ... where I'll get the "MOVE" option. That option is found in the tricky RESTORE context stack and it's easy to miss because the metrical size of the popup control is so miniscule.
Sometimes the mouse "grabbing" action will miss the "MOVE" that should be able to be made by swinging the mouse through and you'll have to reselect using ALT+SHIFT. If that movement becomes a problem try just using keyboard arrows after you've affected the mouse click and .... HOLD .... until the app's frame starts to appear on your main monitor.

I usually go as OG.
ALT+TAB or Windows+TAB to set focus in the desired App
Windows UP to maximize + Windows left/right to set it in the seloected half of the monitor.
If you have multiple monitors you can use the Windows Left/Right several times, the order will be:
First right = right half of your current monitor
Second right = middle (floating) of the next monitor
Third right = right half of that second monitor
...

Likely one or more of the following.
- Ask friend/family for help.
- Uninstall it and forget about it. Perhaps also asking for a refund.
- Call/email support for product
- Complain on the product community site.

The Titan submersible has been found about 1600 meters from the bow of the Titanic. It appears to have had a catastrophic implosion that ripped apart the pressure hull. RIP to the four who paid for this trip and the pilot. I have no sympathy for the fifth passenger as he was the CEO of the company and, based on reports, was warned multiple times by different people that this submersible wasn't safe.

The news story said lost at sea in the headline. But, at 159 atmospheres, they're dead.

6000 psi down there. They wouldn't have had time to notice there was a problem - death would have been instantaneous. One moment 5 humans, the next a lamination on the carbon fibre.
RIP, and my thoughts are with the families (who definitely can afford to sue) ...

OriginalGriff wrote: death would have been instantaneous Totally agree. Check my posts a few threads down and you'll see I said the same exact thing. I'm coming from a family of scuba divers, so you learn quickly the pressure would've killed them a lot sooner than running out of air.

Apparently there are two separate companies. OceanGate owns the submersibles, and OceanGate expeditions charters them and uses them for their expeditions. Leaving aside the waivers the passengers signed, it is likely that there are no assets for the families to collect from.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
