Windows 10 – How to move window to other monitor by using keyboard shortcuts

keyboard shortcutsmultiple-monitorswindowswindows 10

I try to switch a window from my second monitor to the first, because my OS always opens some windows where they were last closed.
E.g. if I open up VLC Player to watch a video and then move the window to monitor B, close it and reopen it, then it is opened on monitor B the next time.

This is obviously very annoying, especially if monitor B is not on.

Is there a shortcut so I can move the windows easily to monitor A again if it has focus?

I tried to give the window focus and press

Windows+SHIFT+→
or: Windows+SHIFT+←

But nothing happens.

I solved it by unchecking the box which you can see in the following screenshot. Ease of access English version

Go to Control Panel > Ease of Access Center > Make the Keyboard Easier to Use

Then search for the setting "Make it easier to manage windows" and un-check the option "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen"

After unchecking this option, it works again.
