Windows 10: Snap to top of screen cannot be turned off through settings Windows 24H2

Since updating to Windows 24H2, any window will snap to the top of the display when I try to move it above the display area, even if snap is disabled in Settings -> Multitasking. However, for non-maximized windows, I sometimes need to move the top handlebar beyond the screen area, so that I don't accidentally resize a window. I am used to just move the mouse to the top of the screen, and click a menu or a browser tab. So, how can I completely turn off snap to top in 24H2 version ? Is there a new registry setting which controls such behaviour ? Is this a bug or is it supposed to be a featu

Snap Assist to top and bottom in portrait mode

I work in Portrait on my desktop and have found an almost-but-not-quite solution building on Eeshwar's suggestion.

1) Snap a window to one of the corners. For this purpose we'll say you have your notes app and Snap it to bottom-left or bottom-right.

2) Size the snapped window horizontally to fill the screen

3) Snap "top" window to either top corner - the window will match the size of your previously-snapped bottom window and fill the rest of the screen.

This solution has drawbacks:

1) Extra step - you must resize the initial window after snapping

2) No official keyboard shortcuts

 

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.
