Which Affinity app(s) do you have?
Can you upload the file to the forum?

On Windows any app/dialog showing on the 2nd screen can be moved using the Winkey+Shift+Left/Right Arrow Keys
So, it's easy to move an app without having my 2nd screen switched on but I just have a desktop so no mobile working so I can't test if that works without physically disconnecting my 2nd screen (which due to my cable management system, is not easy to test right now)
In addition, Windows appear to have some settings (see below) that may control what happens when a 2nd screen is disconnected.
I'm not sure if Macs have something similar but I'm surprised that we have not had a lot more reported issues with using Laptops and mobile working if this is a generic problem.

Should I post both of the images, so you can see what I'm trying to do?
Yes,
(but be sure to attach the actual image files not screenshots of them)

It should check how many monitors are available and attached and if there's only one, it should move the windows to that screen only.
All my work is done on my main screen but I have other "monitoring" apps (e.g. Task Manager) automatically started on my second screen when I switch on my PC
I don't use my 2nd screen every day and just switch it on/off when I want to see the status of those apps
In my opinion it would be wrong (and very annoying) for those apps to move themselves to my main screen if they detect my 2nd screen it not available/switched on.

Go into....
Edit > Settings > Performance
...and switch off Hardware Acceleration (if enabled) to eliminate that as a possible cause

If you also have APhoto you have the twirl filter. Which may be useful.

What a lot of people don't realise/know is that when you open an image a snapshot of that image is automatically created and you can refer back to it or restore it into your current document should you want to.
So, knowing that, a duplicated background layer isn't essential and (bonus points) the snapshot can never be accidentally overwritten.

@vpkumar There is a free photo restoration forum where people can post images they would like restored and the forum community members will attempt to give advice or just attempt to restore it for you. You may want to post your image there to see what their "experts" can do
If you do and they can do a good job of restoring it, please post that image back here so we can see what they have achieved.

Rasterise and Trim is available from a right-click in the Layers panel (no shortcut)
Layer > Rasterise is available in the Layers menu and can be assigned a shortcut
If you have done a Vector Crop on an image then Layer > Rasterise appears to do the same thing as Rasterise & Trim

Is there any way to automatically with in the drop process scale them down to a size that fits into the page directly without touching every picture separately
You can use File > Place to select all the images at once then on the canvas Click & drag each image to place them on the canvas
At this stage you only need to click & drag each image to, say, a thumbnail size just to get them on the page, you can resize them later when you do your layout

It was also there in V1

There is a Paste FX option in the Edit menu

Invert Pixel Selection Ctrl+Shift+I
Add to selection (Marquee/Freehand selection tools only) Ctrl+Alt-drag
Remove from selection Alt-drag

Feather Shift+F6
Refine Edges Ctrl+Alt+R
Nudge selection1 Arrow key
Modified nudge selection1 Shift+arrow key
Selection from layer Ctrl-click layer thumbnail or Ctrl+Shift+O
Selection from layer luminosity Ctrl+Alt-click layer thumbnail
Add layer contents to existing selection Shift+Ctrl-click layer thumbnail
Add layer luminosity to existing selection Shift+Ctrl+Alt-click layer thumbnail
Polygon selection (Freehand Selection Tool only) Ctrl+Shift-click on page.

If you ignore the Quick FX Panel (for now) and access the FX dialog by using the FX icon in the Layers panel you will find that the FX dialog stays open until you close it.
Even when switching layers or documents

If you have a lot of content on your canvas, selecting a guide is near impossible, you keep selecting other artwork components.
Guides can be selected and moved in the Ruler area(s)

Having done that (first image above), how do I get the selection to crop?
In your image it looks like you don't have that layer selected in the Layers panel
It looks like you may have a different layer selected (one below that shown image)
A full-sized screenshot, showing the Layers panel and the crop tool selected or a video recording may help see what you are doing
Corrupted File (Recover)

On first glance it is recoverable using the "Add pages from file" method and can be opened but it warns there are still some "file errors"
I'll upload what I have for now but I think the official support staff will need to take a deeper look at it
Let me know if you can at least open the attached
