I just read:

How to quickly move current window to another Task View / desktop in Windows 10?

But most/all solutions assume you can see and interact with that window to be moved. What if you can't? What if the other desktop is on a monitor that's turned-off - and you want to bring the window over?

Note: I'm not referring to other virtual desktops, but rather - focused desktops on different monitors.

If you are able to set focus on the window, you can move it with the windows key + arrow to move between monitors.

You many need to press Win+Arrow repeatedly, as at first the window may switch to a position aligned to the side edge of the display, and then to the adjacent display on the next press.

A good question that has not yet been correctly resolved. I am using Nirsoft's MultiMonitorTools here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/multi_monitor_tool.html

You can enable preview of an invisible display - Monitor Preview. You can also move application windows between displays.

Set focus to the window with Alt-Tab, then use Win-Shift-arrow key (right or left arrow key, depending on "where" the turned-off monitor is in relation to the turned-on monitor) to send the window to the other monitor.

This Windows 10 keyboard shortcut is specifically for sending windows between monitors.
