Windows always open up in the top left of the screen

For some reason in Photoshop whenever I use the Open command, Save command, anything that opens up a new window, it will open up in the top left corner of the screen. I have moved the window into the middle of the screen over and over again and yet when I reopen photoshop it will always default to the top left again. It's really annoying and I'm not sure how to fix it. I attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about

As you can see in the image, the new window locks to the top left and no matter how many times I move it to a different location it always ends up back there again when opening a new window. Any idea on how to fix this?

I'm still having the same issue 3 years later where the windows stick to the top left corner of the screen when opening. It only occurs when opening files in Photoshop. Has anybody been able to fix this problem?

This worked for a similar issue in Premiere. Tutorial is Window's based, but there's links for Mac too.

I know it is almost 2 years later yet I have this issue with every Adobe tool I use on my Windows 10 (10.0.18363) workstation. For me, the most often used are Premiere Pro and After Effects. Each new version of these will have this behavior of opening windows and panels in the upperleft which feels problmatic in terms of aestethic workflow if you will. My solution is: I move the window to where I would like it, then close that window by clicking the upper right corner X, then open same window again by "import" or whatever command I used to get it the first time, now the window will always open in this new spot. Yet these are also separate for each command or origination point that utilizies a panel (AE - pc), an explorer window and will have to be "re-defaulted". The reason I found this thread is because I would like to find a way to tell the Adobe app the default way or position I would like Adobe to open up explorer windows so I do not have to repeat these steps for every new version of every Adobe app I run on my PC workstation. I use a Mac as my mobile editing and teaching device and this behavior does not occur on Mac. Or at least not on the mbp 2018 (model 15,1 osx 10.14.6) that I am using. Thanks for letting me share...

Also coming in late, but just ran into this issue and found the solution on another Adobe page. The culprit is a buried XML file... Check this out:
