Windows 10: My snap windows with mouse dragging is not working on Microsoft 11 - how can I fix this?

I have Windows 11 on my Dell laptop. I have all the "snap window settings" functions enabled, but it only works with the Microsoft hot keys, and not with the mouse dragging. How can I fix this?

Windows 11: snap assistant does not work with mouse/touchpad

Hey,

I have a bit strange issue - snap assistant stopped working.

Use W11 on Dell Latitude 5501, it's pretty fresh install (week or two ago). Snap assistant is enabled, everything should work correctly, but it doesn't: works only with keyboard shortcuts (win key + arrows), not with mouse/touchpad and dragging any app windows to left/right of the screen.

Googled about that, checked possible options:

• disabled all items from autostart: no result
  
• tried different drivers: no result
  
• tried different scaling options: no results (daily use with 100%)
  
• install insider beta:... no results
  
• sfc/diskpart scanning: no errors, everything is fine
  

Do not have any idea what can be wrong.

It worked fine before system reinstall for many months, now it's broken

 

Windows 10 snap does not work with mouse

I created a new account and the snap feature still did not work with the mouse. It does work with the windows and arrow keys.
