Post title: It's been an issue for long years - there is a workaround

They still haven't fixed it, it seems.

You can use your keyboard to access and move the window, though.
Find the "Windows" key on your keyboard - it is the little wavy window symbol - on my laptop it is between the Fn key and the Alt key at the bottom on the left side.
Press the windows key, hold it, and then try pressing the arrow keys - see what happens!
;-)
So, when you open a window (a dialog) in Trados, and it goes onto the non-existing second screen, use this trick to move it back to your main screen.

For added fun, try pressing the window key, hold it, and then press the tab key - you can rotate through all your open windows - this may come handy, too, one day.

Try these first with your second monitor attached, so you could follow what is happening, then disconnect it to simulate your home environment, and try again.

Have fun!
