Shortcut for maximising from snapped window


Hi all,

I've recently updated to W10, and am hoping I'm missing a shortcut for maximising snapped windows.

I'm the sort of person that likes to minimise mouse use. I'm used to snapping windows to the left or right using the shortcut "Start + Left/Right Arrow". I can still use this, and I generally like the Snap Assist functionality that now comes with it.

However, I am currently finding it quite annoying to use keyboard shortcuts to get out of this view (i.e. when you have 1 screen snapped left and 1 screen snapped right). The only shortcut I can find for maximising a screen is "Start + Up Arrow", however this will instead snap it to the top quadrant (on its respective side), and snap assist will ask you what you want to snap to the bottom quadrant. From what I can see, you then have to Esc out of this and then try "Start + Up Arrow" again.

Is there not a keyboard shortcut to maximise directly from a snapped window? It's currently taking 3 keyboard shortcuts, which is sort of a paradox.

It sounds fairly basic, but it's quite annoying when you are regularly snapping windows to left/right, and something I could do easily on W7.

For completeness, steps to reproduce:

1. Have several windows open in W10, (min. 3). Also, have snap assist turned on in settings
2. "Start + Left Arrow" to snap active screen to left. Snap assist should appear on right
3. Use Arrow Keys and Enter to select a window to snap to right
Imagine working on these screens for a bit
4. Now try to maximise a window, use shortcut "Start + Up Arrow" - doesn't work, screen will snap to top left/right
5. Press Esc to exit Snap Assist
6. Again try to maximise window, use shortcut "Start + Up Arrow"

If anyone could help me find a way to end the process at step 4, that would be lovely!

Thanks a lot,

Tom

 

Cannot turn off Snap

When I move a window it automatically snaps to full size, I've tried everything turning off all the snap feature in ease of use and all the other methods found on the net no matter what I do as soon as I move a window it snap to full size

 

Windows 10 maximising windows when moving to a different monitor, why?

Hello,

I use two monitors on my PC but for some reason windows 10 has started to maximise windows when moving the window from monitor 1 to monitor 2.

Have gone to display settings, multitasking, and tried turning each option on and off but it makes no difference. And each time I go into that setting, the first option defaults to off, even after I left it to on, so all the snap options are off.

So why does it keep resizing to maximum every window I drag over? Making this unuseable, I don't want it to keep maximising my windows unless I tell it to.
