Windows 10: How to prevent applications showing up partially off-screen at launch?

Up front: sorry! Likely this may have been asked over and over. However, I vainly searched for a solution. Hopefully someone can point me to the correct solution. Issue: Usually it is the bottom area (i.e. the status bar) of about 10-15mm, so I need to move the window panel a little bit upwards to make it all visible again. Sometimes, specifically with Office applications, this may not be easy: the title bar is so crowded there is hardly any free space to grab it without anything happening. I wonder whether there is a fix to always have applications show up within the visible area and above the taskbar at -initial launch-, i.e. when it has to move away to make other window panels visible, then this should be done by the user by moving around that window panel. Thanks! p.s. I know about shift-dragging a window panel, but one way or the other Windows doesn't seem to remember the 'last position', so I am seeking for some kind of default setting.

• Click on App & browser control.
• Click on Off in the following options:
  • Check apps and files.
  • SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge.
  • SmartScreen for Windows Store apps.
