Windows 10: Snapping windows is causing more clicks

I finally figured out how to stop the snapping windows from showing me the different layouts. Is there any way I can stop my snaps from automatically going to a narrow screen in the middle of the screen? I am constantly spending time with my windows anymore maximizing, moving, minimizing, unsnapping, moving out of the way, etc.. Whatever snapping "improvements" Microsoft has made with the latest windows is incredibly frustrating.[Moderator note: moved from the Office Other forum to Windows]

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.

 

Disc management snap in

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It seems like you're having trouble accessing the files on your Toshiba external hard drive and experiencing issues with the Disk Management snap-in. First, let's try to address the problem step-by-step.

1. Accessing Files on the Toshiba Hard Drive If you're having problems opening files, it might be due to file corruption or the file format. If the files were created or saved on another system, there might be compatibility issues. To check the files, try opening them on a different computer. If the files open correctly, the problem might be with the software on your current computer. If the files still don't open, they might be corrupted.
   
2. Disk Management Snap-in Issues The Disk Management snap-in is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. It provides a graphical interface for managing disks and volumes. If it's not working correctly, you might be experiencing issues with the MMC. Here are some steps to fix this:
   
   • Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
     
   • Type "mmc" and press Enter. This will open the Microsoft Management Console.
     
   • In the MMC, click on File > Add/Remove Snap-in.
     
   • In the Add or Remove Snap-ins dialog box, select Disk Management and click Add.
     
   • Click OK to close the dialog box. You should now see Disk Management in the MMC.
     

If you're still experiencing problems after following these steps, please provide more specific details about the issues you're facing. This will allow me to provide a more accurate solution.

Best regards
