I love the part where it remembers what screen an application was last launched on, even if that screen is no longer connected, so the window is completely missing with no visible way to get it back 😅
But yes, I find multiple monitor stuff to mostly be good in Win11 I agree!
Though it's sorely missing a feature Win10 had that I find really, REALLY annoying. My monitors aren't the same resolution, so when I move my mouse from one of a higher resolution to a lower one, if the mouse is near the top of the screen as it often is, it will literally get stuck on the edge of the screen, because the next screen technically has no pixels that high up 🤦♀️
So I then have to move the mouse down an inch or two to get it to be allowed to move to the next screen. Incredibly infuriating, and a problem that was solved in previous versions of Windows (which would just helpfully move your mouse to the top of the neighbouring screen, as you'd intuitively want).
When I still had monitors with different resolutions I used an app called https://cursr.app/ to fix that. Or at least I think that is your issue…
I usually move the monitors around, the move my mouse to test it, until I avoid that, as perfectly aligning then with different resolutions doesn't work. But yeah, totally know what you're saying.
When the invisible app window happens, you can use the windows key + arrow keys to move the current window around.
Agreed about the mouse thing being infuriating. I match my display resolutions to avoid it.
