    Turning of Snap Window Feature in Windows 10 does not work


    Turning off the snap window feature does not work and is incredibly frustrating as I'm constantly resizing my windows and then having to very slowly and carefully resize them again because they snapped into a totally pointless size and not how and where I want them. I've turned it off in Multitasking and verified it is off in registry and yet it still does it.

    :)

    Accessibility feature of Windows Snap in Windows 10

    Hello,

    The mouse sensitivity while performing a Snap works in tandem with how it works in Windows. So, changing the mouse sensitivity will not impact the Snap feature functionality separately.

    So to answer to your query, there is no such dedicated control/settings to change how mouse gestures will work for Snap feature in Windows.

    However, a work around in this case is to use keyboard shortcuts:

    • Windows + Left Arrow
    • Windows + Right Arrow
    This works to snap windows to the left and right half of the screen respectively.

    Hope the recommendation is helpful.
