Is there a way to specify the start position of the window upon launch?

For some weird reason, this seems to be one of the few games you can't click the maximize button in windowed mode, so what I tried was setting a custom resolution in user.settings to 1920x1040 (allowing for the 40 pixels for the windows taskbar, since my native resolution runs at 1920x1080. This works for games like Skyrim, Fallout 4, etc.

But Witcher 3 does something weird when you do this...

The resolution I set in user.settings appears to be fine, the left/right orientation is perfect, but for some weird reason the game wants to start the window about 40-50 pixels down from the top and so those 40-50 pixels disappear underneath the taskbar.

If I could find the setting that lets you set the window's start position, I could set it at 0,0 and everything would be perfect. You can't drag the window because in borderless window, there's no border to grab with the mouse cursor and the game probably wouldn't remember where you had the window anyways.

It's getting rather annoying how many games do not allow you to click the maximize button. I wouldn't mind having a border, but again, no maximize button and I don't feel like trying to calculate how many pixels the border takes up ontop of the taskbar, and I need the taskbar visible at all times but yet I don't want this tiny little window with lots of wasted space.
