Windows 10: Align Windows Right Up Against Edge of Screen (like Mac OS)

Mac OS has this one feature that I like that allows me to align the edges of all apps/windows precisely along the four edges of the screen (manually). It doesn't mean I want Windows to align windows to fit a certain segment of the screen like W10's "snap" feature. I just want them to "bump" the edge of the screen and stay aligned there, without being resized.

It's hard to describe, but if you use Mac OS too, you may understand. Is this possible w/W10? Every search I run offers only the W10 snap windows feature, which isn't what I'm seeking.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

How to customize Windows OS like Mac OS X?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Windows and Mac OS X are both different OS and designed in different ways. Both the OS has their own customizing capabilities. As both the OS are designed differently, some of the Windows customization cannot be done on Mac OS X and vice versa.

As .webloc opener is a third party application, we are unsure what modifications it does on the Windows OS, I suggest you to get in touch with the .webloc opener support team to know more about the application.

A Shell-script is a file that contains sequence of commands that can be used to perform certain operations using an command line application. As Mac OS X has terminal as a command line application, Windows has Command Prompt and PowerShell that can
be used to run scripts. To know more about how to write and run scripts, please refer the article

How to Write and Run Scripts in the Windows PowerShell ISE.

Extensions and add-ons are small software modules that can be used to customize the web browser. There are a variety of extensions and add-ons that can be used to customize the interface of the browser, ad block and cookie management. You can refer

Windows comes with it’s own security software known as Windows Defender. Windows Defender is an in-built application that keeps the computer protected from virus, malware, spyware, and ransomware. To know more about security on Windows please refer

Customizing Windows File Explorer to show GB/MB instead of KB:


Windows is designed in such a way that it will show the file size in KB only. Currently, we don’t have the feature to make the File Explorer to show the file size in GB/MB. However, this seems to be a good suggestion and
I would encourage you to provide your valuable feedback in Feedback hub so that our development team can review your suggestions. To provide your feedback, please refer to the article

text alignment is messed up when combining right to left language with a left to right one


Dears,

As the subject title suggests I'm having a big problem in text alignment when combining right to left language with a left to right one.

while the flow of the over all text should be governed by the line or paragraph language like your desktop OS windows, or even mobile OS's like Android or iOS.

In my case the alignment issues I experiencing is with Arabic and English. See the attached photo to get a better understanding of the problem.

 

Text aligned right instead of left in Messaging and People app

Hi,

One possible cause why your messaging and Peoples app text is aligned to the right instead of left due to corrupted system files. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

• Does this happen with People app only or with other apps also?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We're looking forward to your response.
