When I click on Windows' Settings, it appears that it is open (it's highlighted on the task bar and one can see a tiny window there), but its window is not visible on my monitor. Please note that I have Windows 11 Pro.

    Hi, good day!

    Do you have a secondary monitor connected? If so, please try disconnecting it and see if the issue persists.

    If this doesn't work, open Settings app then Press and Hold the Shift key on your keyboard. Right click the affected application on the taskbar. Select Move then use the left and right arrows on your keyboard to move to the center.

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.
