    how do I prevent a window from expanding full size?


    When I grab a window to move it and then hesitate for just a fraction of a second, the system automatically expands the window to full size. What option can I toggle to prevent that from occurring?


    I'm running Windows v10.0.17134 Build 17134.

    Thanks,

    Jerry Pope
