    If you powered off with 2 displays and powered on with only 1 display , the windows from the external display should move to the border of the active display. If that doesn't happen, try reconnecting the external display and switch back to laptop display before disconnecting.

    If a program launches off the screen, while it has the focus press alt+spacebar then "M" for move then use arrow keys to move onto screen

    Or right click taskbar and pick cascade windows or similar option.

    I usually just use the Windows key + P.

    Hit that and then either left key or right key and then enter.

    Cheers. :)
