Windows 10: Program open on the taskbar but not visible on the screen.

Hello,An app for my mouse settings AJAZZ Driver is not displaying on my screen. It is open in the taskbar and when I hover my mouse over it, it just shows a grey square. I read some other articles on Microsoft Community and some of them suggested maximizing or clicking move. Unfortunately I'm on windows 11 and couldn't find these features. I already tried reinstalling my drivers twice but it didn't help. Waiting for your help, Tima

toggle to switch taskbar location from bottom to right and back

'particular monitor/screen and visible unlocked taskbar' No, my taskbar is normally locked - I would need to include the unlocking step. I already use many Autohotkey applications - mostly for entering scraps of text.
Forgive me for quoting the wrong program 'AutoIT' when you suggested AutoHotKey. MouseClickDrag looks daunting but 'feasible' - worth a try - but not tonight.
