Windows 10: Move app from non existent monitor

Last time I used an app, I had 2nd monitor plugged into laptop. Used app on 2nd monitor and closed it.


Not at home and open app on laptop without 2nd monitor. App shows up in task bar but not on desktop. How do I get it to move back to the laptop.


When I get back home and plug 2nd monitor in, it shows up there. If I move it to laptop and then unplug 2nd monitor it will stay. SOO that is a solution if I remember to move it every time I close the program. Would still like a solution for those times I am away from home and have forgotten to move the app back to the laptop before I closed it.


Thanks

Settings App opens on a non-existent monitor and cannot be accessed

I have been successfully using three monitors on my Win 10 Pro Desktop for a long time. There is, I think, a limit of 3 monitors in Win 10, but somehow a 4th monitor appeared in Display Settings. I have never had a 4th monitor physically connected. Now
some apps open on the non-existing monitor 4. The apps can be seen using Alt-Tab but when selecting them with Alt-Tab, I cannot actually get the apps on any of the three real monitors. I cannot access them at all except I can close them by typing the X within
Alt-Tab. Now here is the real, non-trivial problem: All Settings open on the Phantom Monitor 4. I cannot change ANY settings because I cannot get to the Settings app. Right clicking on the desktop and selecting Display Settings causes the Display Settings
app to open on the Phantom monitor, where I can only see the Display Settings app using Alt-Tab. I clearly see that 4 monitors are in the Display Settings but cannot shut down #4 or make any other change to any settings(not just display settings, ANY settings).
How can I fix this? Microsoft Tech Answer has no answer except to do a clean reinstall of windows. Is there any less drastic option? This should be a challenge for the FixWin guys. I have disconnected all monitors except 1. The problem is still there.
I still see a non-existent Monitor #2, and Settings open on it. By the way, it is not just Settings that open on the Phantom, my Chrome browser opens there too, and is inaccessible. I can close Chrome but cannot access it otherwise. I am uninstalling
Chrome, and intend to reinstall it to see if that fixes the problem. Is there a way to uninstall just the Settings app and then to reinstall just it?
