An application window usually goes beyond the visible screen area and goes off-screen whenusing a secondary monitor. This can also happen due to the wrong display resolution.
On Windows 10, you may use theCascade windowto move a window that is off-screen. For Windows 11, there’s no such option, but you can use other methods like snapping windows using Task View.
In this article, we have compiled several ways to move your off-screen window into the main screen without having to close/exit the application.

Whenever you are using a secondary monitor, a window can go off-screen if its resolution isn’t set correctly.
