    How to turn off snap windows while keeping maximized window dragging?


    On multiple monitors the windows stick to the side of the screens if i don't drag them fast. I want to avoid it without disabling maximized window dragging. How to do that? Windows 10 Version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1165)

    in win 10, maximized window won't drag

    I had the same problem too. I had turned on Snap setting: Snap Window.

    This disallowed me to drag a maximized window from display 1 to display 2.

    Turning off the Snap Window, I couldnt move a Maximized window.

    It turns out that moving a maximized window works in Snap window mode On when you move that window to the other display fast. Moving it slow makes Windows think that you want to snap it, as if you are parking a car backwards and.. slow.

    Solution to move maximized windows:

    1. Keep Snap Window On
    2. For Snapping a maximized window, move your mouse slow to the edge of a display
    3. For moving a maximized window (to a different display), move the maximized window fast

    Why can't I drag maximized windows with snap disabled

    I am running Windows 10 version 1709

    My system is full up to date. I have run both dism restorehealth and sfc with no issues found by either.

    As previously indicated, I have validated the correct registry setting for DragFromMaximize.

    And now I have validated that the issue is definitely related to the snap feature. If I turn snap back on, then I am able to drag from maximized per the correct window behavior. But as soon as I turn snap off again,
    I immediately lose the ability to drag my maximized windows.
