Please try dragging it to the middle of the screen, then choose File - Quit from the main menu (don't use the [X] button in the title bar). After that, restart WiFi Guard and it should appear where you placed it.

If you encounter this problem again, we recommend upgrading to the newest version. We have modified this version to prevent Windows from applying the default window position.
Additionally, the 'File Not Open' issue has been resolved. The previous builds contained some leftover debug code that has now been removed.

Maybe it helps to start WiFi Guard with a delay of a minute or two. I have tried to achieve that via task planer, but I did not succeed (not even with the /hide parameter). As soon as the app is launched via task planer, I see a WiFi Guard icon on my taskbar. This is not what I want; I only want to see the icon in sys tray.QuoteAndrew
The issue may be related to timing, wherein Windows attempts to apply the default window position after WiFi Guard has read its settings and positioned the window based on its last location.
Is there an option to start WiFi Guard with a delay of a couple of minutes without placing the icon on my taskbar? Maybe a delayed start stops Windows from messing with the WiFi Guard window location. It should be somehow possible to always see the WiFi Guard window right in the middle of my screen. Really annoying ...
A fourth option for "UI behaviour" could help:
"Start with a delay of X minutes"

We've just updated the positioning code again, so please try the latest build and let me know how it works for you.

Thank you very much for the new build. Unfortunately, this new build did not help to resolve this problem. This is what I tried:
- I shut down my computer and booted it up two hours later: The WiFi Guard GUI opened right in the middle of my screen, so the new build seemed to have resolved the problem.
- I shut down my computer again and booted it up after twenty hours. No luck! The WiFi Guard did NOT open the GUI in the middle of my screen. Instead, I can only see half of the window on the right-hand side of my screen (as can be seen in the screenshot that I attached with my first post).
