    Have to double tap arrow keys to snap windows


    Window snapping is not working correctly. Say I have two or more windows open and want to do a Win + arrow to snap a window to one half of the screen, I have to hit the arrow key twice. It doesn't matter to which side of the screen I'm trying to initially snap a window, or how many windows I have open.



    When I hit Win + arrow once, the window sort of snaps but not completely, and a small portion of the top of the title bar is above the top of my screen.

    I'm on Windows 10 Education, build 18362.836. Any ideas?

    Snap suddenly not working with win-key + arrow key

    So snap has suddenly stopped working with win-key + arrow key, it still works when dragging the window to the edge/top of the screen using the mouse. The keys still work individually (arrow keys still scroll in web pages and win key still opens start menu)
    but no in combo. I've checked in the settings and control panel and snap is enabled (also when I snap by dragging with the mouse the snap suggestions do not pop up like they used to even though the setting is again enabled.

    It just stopped working about ten minutes ago and it's already infuriating since I'm at uni and often need multiple windows open.

    Thanks for your help.

    Have to double tap arrow keys to snap windows

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?
