Same here when using masscode with Windows 10 Pro.

I have this issue as well on Windows 10 Pro. As long as the massCode application is on the primary window when you close the application or open and running when you change the number of monitors you are using then the application will stay on the main window. However if it is closed on a window that is not your primary window and then the number of monitors changes then the application doesn't have a way to check that and so it opens on a monitor that is no longer available. I believe this can be handled in a function inside the CreateWindow() function under src > main > index.ts so that when you load the bounds of the application it then checks to see if those bounds are still within the current available displays. If true then it continues creating the window otherwise it will reset the window to be on the primary monitor. I think the call is pretty simple. It just needs to check the app bounds against the election screen.GetAllDisplays() result. I have done something similar in another application and am currently working on applying that solution to this app.

this is not a masscode issue in itself, its an windows issue.
the position of non fullscreenapps is stored as coordinates. so if your laptop monitor is for example 1920x1080 your app coordinates on the external monitor will be somwhere at >1921,>1081

what should work is select icon, hold windows key, use arrowkeys left several times to bring it to the main window

permanent toolless workround, if you dont use your laptopscreen while bigscreen is connected rearrange it in display settings. move it to the right.
that way the external monitor will start at 0,0
