I am trying to spawn enemies on a random point in the windwo and every timpe it sapwns the enemy in the same position.
This is the code I used for the random spawn:
enemy.setPosition(1 + (rand() % 1920), 1 + (rand() % 1080));

For general C++ questions, please consider using StackOverflow or similar.
With C++11 and newer you should really be using the
<random>
header, see the "
rand() Considered Harmful
" talk.
As for your code, if you don't seed your randomizer function with a different seed, you'll get predictably the same number every run.
