After being frustrated by this for weeks, I figured out the problem and it seems like a bug on Chrome's side. Actually it was coming up in the foreground just not in the visible space of the primary monitor. I noticed that there was something going into the left side of the screen.
So, to correct the problem I connected an additional monitor and made it extend to the left side of the primary monitor and there it was. I repositioned it to the primary window and it comes up fine now. Though I still don't get how it ended up there in the first place and even after reinstalls why it wasn't adjusting it's position to the primary monitor.
Edit: As kinokijuf commented a better way would be to use Alt-Space to move the screen back on to the main screen.

A variation on what kinokijuf suggested: I wasn't able to move the Chrome Task Manager using the Alt+Space technique. However, I was able to maximize it using the Alt+Space Technique, and then I just snapped it back to it's former place and it works fine now.

Another solution that should work every time on Windows 7+ is to use win+left to hook it to the left side of the screen. Intuitively, you would think that this wouldn't help, since it's on a "different" screen, but this key combination forces Windows to check the displays and will put it on a real one.

Just helped a customer with this. For the keyboard challenged, you can right click Chrome task manager in task bar, select maximize, and then drag title bar to where you want it.

Best thing you can do is alt+space. From there you can maximize the window and it will appear.
To not have it disappear again when minimized, grab it by the collar(the thing you select when moving a window around) and place it anywhere.
