"Apple Devices" app on Windows 11 opens off monitor.

I switched over to the "Apple Devices" app from the Windows 11 store to sync data to my iPhone. However, when I connect my iPhone to sync data, it doesn't open on my monitor. I have only one monitor. If I alt tab, I can see the app open, but it never shows up when I select it.


I've been using Windows for 20 years. I've never encountered this behavior before. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I managed to get it to show up. With the app running and with focus, press <alt>-space, that popped up the system menu in the upper right of my screen. Press "x" to maximize. Then it appeared full screen. If I un-maximized it, it would disappear again. But right clicking on the maximize button in the upper right gave options to tile it on the screen. Choose one of those to make it cover only part of the screen, close the app, and restart it. Now it appears and I can resize it as desired. Hope that works for you too.
