My MO is to make sure all windows are docked on the monitors that I want them to be on when I turn off the monitor that I'm not using. That way those same windows (should) pop up on those same monitors, (hopefully) eliminating the need to turn on the not-used monitor just to move a window..... Usually if it's a program, the tab for it can be seen on the taskbar so I'll know something went over to the other monitor, but not the case in the situation in this thread because it's not a separate program that is running. To change the monitor config in the OS settings just to "mute" or eliminate that one monitor would be a major repetitive needless PIA.

Huge kudos to Andrew and PG Music for addressing the situation. That is much appreciated.
