Default Caption Bar off-screen

A window opens off-screen such that there is no caption bar or anything
else that I can use to click and drag the window back on screen.
How do I get it all back on screen?

What window? It sounds like a "skinned" window
if it has no title bar. Maybe the program saved its
window position on a different monitor or some such?

One possibility, if it has a task bar icon, is to
right-click that and try Maximize.
Another possibility might be to find the settings
file or Registry settings where the program is
storing window position, then fix those. But it
depends on the particular software.

They recommend "Cascade windows" choice as a way to do
it here, as that will redefine the origin of all the
programs open at a time. But, it can make a mess
depending on what you're doing.

Alt-space - M followed by the arrow keys may help.

What do you mean off-screen. Like on the floor or ceiling?

such that there is no caption bar or anything
else that I can use to click and drag the window back on screen.

That's Move. After 20 years, I still don't know what Move is.
