    Snap windows not working correctly


    When I use a full screen application that can have multiple tabs, moving one of the tabs to the side of the screen to "snap to edge" will instead turn the tab full screen. However, this does not happen if the main window I was originally using was not in full screen. I have the option "When I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space" turned of so I don't know why it continues to fill the entire screen.

    :)

    Windows 10 Snap Assist Stopped Working

    More specifically, the "snap together" part quit working for most all applications. This functionality has worked since I upgraded to windows 10 but randomly stopped working after a restart today. Interestingly, two file explorer windows work correctly--
    snapping together and re-sizing respectively.... but everything else will not. I've run both sfc and dism (getting those to run properly was another fiasco, but ended up successful) which were suggested in other posts but this snap functionality still does
    not work.

    Snap windows not working correctly

    Snap Assist no longer working (W10)

    Isn't this overkill for a simple setting change?

    I got this from a site (credited just after the paste.)

    Start menu to settings.

    Under system select: Multitasking.

    Select snap options

    Under snap

    Arrange windows: on

    When I snap more than one : on

    When I snap a windows, show what I can snap next to it: On

    Sorry for the short answer, My eyesight makes that necessary.

    Credit and a much better written answer on: How To Turn On/Off Snap in Windows 10
