  1. Applications and windows keep trying to snap between my monitors.


    Hello, I just got another monitor and everything had been going smoothly for a while. I had no issues, until about 2 hours ago, when any time I would try to drag my windows from one monitor to the other it would try to snap the window between my monitors instead of letting me just drag it to my other monitor. I know why it is doing this, it is because of the stupid snap feature Microsoft implemented with windows 10. But it just started doing it now, and I have had my monitors for like 3 days now. Is there any way I can disable it without turning off snap? I don't necessarily care about wanting the snapping, it is just that if I turn snapping off I cannot just hold LMB on a maximized window and drag it, I have to minimize it first. And if you are just going to reply saying to use the hotkeys don't even bother because that is no a fix, it is just an excuse for Microsoft to be lazy and not fix issues with their operating system. I shouldn't have to download something like Actual Windows Manager just because Microsoft is incompetent at listening to their customers.

    :)

  2. Cursor snapping to display edges, btween two monitors

    Hi Vincekiss I would suggest you to try configuring multiple monitors and check if the issue is fixed.

    Refer to the following Microsoft Help article to configure multiple monitors. The steps for Windows 8/Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10 as well.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/how-connect-multiple-monitors

    Another way to fix is to go into settings, system, multitasking and disable snap... However this disables it completely.

  3. How to Configure Windows 10 Snap assist in 3 Monitor Setup AMD Eyefinity

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

    As you have stated that after upgrading from windows 7 to window 10 you are facing an issue in the snap assist, as when your try to open a document or browser in monitor 1 and maximize the document or browser it will also maximize on the other two
    monitor but the problem doesn’t occur in windows 7.

    As per understanding the issue I would like you to check whether all the three monitor is connected as duplicate or extended. Please follow the step given below to check if it helps.


    • Press Window + I. ( to open setting Tab)

    • Tap or click on System.

    • Tap or click on Display.

    • Check the Status of Multiple display.

    • If it on Duplicate then change into Extended.
    Note: If you don't see an option named multiple displays in your display settings, then Windows isn't detecting a second monitor plugged into your desktop computer. Or, it is not detecting an external
    monitor plugged into your laptop. When Windows detects this monitor, it will appear in the drop-down list next to
    Display. If you don't see it listed there, try clicking
    Detect.

    Make sure the monitor you want to extend your desktop to be turned on and plugged into the correct video port on your computer. You might also need to select the correct source labeled on your monitor's controls to ensure the monitor is using the correct
    video port. For more information, check the manual for your monitor or go to the manufacturer's website.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    Turn On or Off Aero Snap in Windows 10  


    Yes I already tried your suggestion prior to posting, otherwise I wouldn't trouble you Applications and windows keep trying to snap between my monitors. :)
    It did nothing, it still latches on to the side of the screen between monitors, not just up/sides.

    Thanks,
