Windows 10: How to "snap" windows to multitask?

I thought this was a feature of Windows 11 but apparently it's included in W10 too. It's turned on on my laptop yet i cannot use it. I've tried opening one window on the left side and another window on the right side of the screen but nothing happens, they dont snap side by side and when i press one of them, the other one closes...

Snap multitasking not working properly

Have you made any changes or performed any updates recently? Please check the Snap settings and make sure that these settings are enabled:

• Arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen.
• When I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space
• When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it
• When I resize a snapped window, simultaneously resize any adjacent snapped window

Just click the Windows key > Setting >
System, then select Multitasking.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.

 

Windows 10 Snap Assist/ Multitasking Not Working

I had same problem. I was pulling my hair out! I kept searching for answers and found it. I clicked on a link on how to deactivate snap assist and discovered that snap assist is not activated automatically on install of Windows 10. Pretty big step to leave
out if you ask me on all of the instruction videos of multitasking with 10. haha. Anyway. Go to settings from start. Then go to multitasking and you will see the answer to your question. Turn on snap assist. Hope this helps. Pay it forward.

 

Manage windows and snap (multitasking)

Whenever I go into Ease of Access Center > Make the mouse easier to use, I would like to have the old Windows 7 "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen".

But this seems to reset whenever I turn Snap off (in multitasking). I do not like how the windows arranges when I have dual monitors and how they arranges whenever I drag a window over to the other screen when the snap window function.

Is it possible to disable the snap function and only have the old "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen"?
