Description

### What Happened?

Sometimes when trying to boot AppCenter, the application will place itself outside of screen bounds (or something similar, this is just how I've noticed it appears to be happening) causing it to immediately close again. When you click on it you can see it pop up for a SPLIT second, everytime I've noticed that it is slightly out of my screens bounds.

A temporary solution to the problem is disabling one of your monitors (if you have multiple ofc.) and then for some reason this causes it to want to actually open.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open AppCenter
2. Close AppCenter
3. Open it again

This is how I have had it happen to me. I am not sure what would be causing this to happen. I always leave the application where it launches.

### Expected Behavior

AppCenter should remember where it's placed on a screen and should not be able to save their screen position outside of bounds

### OS Version

6.x (Odin)

### Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

### Log Output

_No response_

### Hardware Info

Graphics driver is 510.73.05 from NVIDIA, my graphics card is the RTX 2080 Ti.

I don't know if this has anything to say but it wouldn't surprise me if it was nvidia screen drivers causing it.
