    Snap a window into a corner? I71oE46vEEhTKWJfDzX9l2io3cVXTxu1W7LBEyLFfNo.jpg



    i wanted to ask if it is possible to snap a window onto a corner instead on the side. i would like it to take at least 1/4 of the screen than having it taking up 1/2. Its that i also want to surf the web while looking at my friends stream at the same time but this seems to be a problem because the small windows gets set to the back. you may say that i should get a second monitor but i feel like this would be such a convenient alternative. Do i have to download an external program to achieve this or is there a windows 10 feature that allows this? thanks hopefully you guys understand what im asking for.

    Disable snapping to corners, keep snapping to edges

    I find it an inconvenience of snapping windows to corners on a laptop (due to small screens and large windows). I instinctively grab a window and drag it upper right or left and expect it to snap to those sides but gets trapped in the corner. I want to find
    a way to disable the feature that snaps to corners, but keep the sides. Can anyone help me find a solution to this? (Or Microsoft to provide an update to aid this issue)

    Disable corner snapping keyboard shortcut in Windows 10

    Try redefining your shortcut keys using Autohotkey (free). Something similar worked for another user- different function.

    I'd suggest considering allocating Win key Up/Down to Autohotkey's WinMaximize, WinMinimize com,ands.

    Its help is excellent, good user forum.

    Snap a window into a corner?

    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.
