Windows 10: how to tile windows horizontally and stop cascading

I have googled how to tile windows horizontally in Windows 10, but it never works for me. All the instructions I find say to drag the window to the side of your screen, and it should 'snap' to that side of the screen. But it doesn't. I just end up dragging it all the way off the screen. What am I doing wrong? I'd love to know a shortcut (windows key + ?) that tiles windows horizontally!

Moreover I would prefer it if, when I opened a second window when using File Explorer, that it didn't open 'cascaded' on top of the one that's already open. If I'm openng a second explorer window, it's probably because I want to look at both of them at the same time.

Thanks for any advice you might have!
