Photoshop floating windows doesn't follow the app switching monitor

For ergonomic reasons, working with Windows 11, I have two monitors and many times I have to open Photoshop by switching working monitor. The problem arises when all the floating dialog windows or open tools remain on the wrong monitor, even worse when the monitor is turned off. There should be an option where the windows follow the app's one.. There’s a fix for that?

    For the Photoshop panels reset the workspace or just choose another and back.

     

    Dialogs are actually a Windows function and Photoshop can't do anything about that. It's standard Windows behavior that windows reopen wherever they were last closed.
