Bug description

It looks like the Nextcloud client window is unaware of the visible screen. Here a screenshot where the window is partially hidden behind an alternate "Start11" task bar moved to the right on Windows 11. Other applications move their windows to the left in that case or use correct positions delivered by Windows automatically:

Steps to reproduce

I'm in favor of a task bar placed on the right side which was possible up to Windows 10 by Microsoft. Since Windows 11 you have to use alternate solutions like Windows Explorer Patcher or Start11 (in my case) to move the task bar to different positions other than the default bottom.

There seems to be a related other open issue but for Linux OS: #9751

Expected behavior

Respect visible screens and exclude parts hidden by task bars of any kind (mostly left, right, top, positions which differ from standard bottom positions).
