Windows 10: My windows are randomly all snapping to my main display, I have 3 monitors

This issue has only recently occurred. I have not had this happen in years previous. During my day as I'm working, I have different windows spread around my screens, when I interact with them they will randomly all snap to the main monitor, causing me to re-arrange my program windows constantly. I like using the snaps that let me place the windows on half of a screen, so I don't want to turn it off completely, I want it to stop randomly snapping without me moving the window. I'm working on a laptop with a 4k screen, but I'm docking it to use 3 27-inch screens instead. Sometimes I dock to use a

Cursor snapping to display edges, btween two monitors

Hi Vincekiss I would suggest you to try configuring multiple monitors and check if the issue is fixed.

Refer to the following Microsoft Help article to configure multiple monitors. The steps for Windows 8/Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10 as well.

Another way to fix is to go into settings, system, multitasking and disable snap... However this disables it completely.

 

How to Configure Windows 10 Snap assist in 3 Monitor Setup AMD Eyefinity

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

As you have stated that after upgrading from windows 7 to window 10 you are facing an issue in the snap assist, as when your try to open a document or browser in monitor 1 and maximize the document or browser it will also maximize on the other two
monitor but the problem doesn’t occur in windows 7.

As per understanding the issue I would like you to check whether all the three monitor is connected as duplicate or extended. Please follow the step given below to check if it helps.

• 
  Press Window + I. ( to open setting Tab)
  
• 
  Tap or click on System.
  
• 
  Tap or click on Display.
  
• 
  Check the Status of Multiple display.
  
• 
  If it on Duplicate then change into Extended.
  

Note: If you don't see an option named multiple displays in your display settings, then Windows isn't detecting a second monitor plugged into your desktop computer. Or, it is not detecting an external
monitor plugged into your laptop. When Windows detects this monitor, it will appear in the drop-down list next to
Display. If you don't see it listed there, try clicking
Detect.

Make sure the monitor you want to extend your desktop to be turned on and plugged into the correct video port on your computer. You might also need to select the correct source labeled on your monitor's controls to ensure the monitor is using the correct
video port. For more information, check the manual for your monitor or go to the manufacturer's website.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
