    How do I disable the gray autosnap rectangle in Windows 10?


    Whenever I drag a window to move it around, this box appears which represents my screen, and if I drag the window over the box, then the window resizes to match the outline. This feature is incredibly annoying, because it always places the box right where I want to put the window down, so I keep accidentally resizing my windows when all I want to do is move them. I tried turning off every "Snap" option in my settings, but the box still won't go away. How do I get rid of it?

    Just to clarify, this is the box that I am referring to. The gray rectangle with the dotted lines that the red arrow is pointing to.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Windows 10 Mail app notifications.
    When trying to enable notifications from system option, I cannot toggle it at all?
    Despite the fact that it is already the default app!
