    Snap Assist

    Hi Cory,

    The Snap Assist allows you to juggle apps, arrange open windows, resize windows by simply dragging and dropping them to the edges of the screen. If you don't want to get a quarter screen snap, you can change the settings of Snap Assist by follow the steps below:

    • Open the Settings app
    • Click System.
    • Click Multitasking.
    • You can turn off some of the option of Snap Assist on this window.

    If you want to disable Snap Assist, you can turn off Arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen.

    Should you have further queries, feel free to post it.

    I am not at all sure Snap & Snap Assist are working as they should. I find it rather confusing to sort out what to expect, having read some articles about it (here and elswhere.)

    The most obvious sign is that there is no transparent overlay. I have never seen this phenomenon even when trying to activate it deliberately. Next, am I right in thinking Snap should mean that adjacent Windows are precisely 'butted' against one another? Sometimes I get this, at other times they overlap. The 'thumbnail list apears sometimes, not always and when I open a fresh Window from a thumbnail it does not Snap into place, often it overlaps and I have to adjust it manually. When I move a Window to left, right or a corner nothing happens, it just keeps on moving until it goes off the screen.

    I use a combination of mouse and the Windows arrow keys. The arrow key method often Snaps when the mouse does not.

    I have all the Snap options set to 'on' in Settings.

    I anticipated I might have some problems with Snap as my maximum display is1280 X 80, ie. les than the recomended resolution, but I have no difficulty displaying multiple Windows (4).
