Default Application Manager display on Win10

This is a small problem but I use Windows 10 with the taskbar at the top of my screen. When Application Manager launches, it is always stuck behind the taskbar. I have to auto-hide the taskbar, move the Application Manager window, then unhide the taskbar. The Application Manager window cannot be resized either so it's a bit of a pain to use. I am posting just in the hope that Avid developers might choose a different way to orient the window on launch. I am sure it doesn't affect that many people - it's just that I see better out of the top of my glasses (old age) so I have the taskbar at the top.

thanks.

Do what a lot of us do. Uninstall the Application Manager. Have to do it after any update to Pro Tools as the installer insists on installing it.

Thanks Bruce! Hadn't thought of that. I don't mind it running per se because am getting regular updates through it but just a little frustrating not being able to move the window. Thanks for the suggestion!

With focus on Application Manager window, hit Alt+Space+M. Use cursor keys to move the window, and press Enter to set position.

Apologies for delay in responding.

Tried Alt+Space+M and using cursor keys to move the window. This does work and allows me to move the window from underneath the toolbar.

Thanks for this suggestion QuikDraw - very much appreciated!
