win+left/right hotkeys doesn't move window if snap is disabled

Hello Stuffedtiger,



I recreated your issue on my end and its working fine. For you to be able to use the hotkey “Win + Left”, the snap settings should be turned on. Press Win + left/right arrow for 3 or more times to move the window between monitors, and Up and Down arrows
to resize the window. You can also drag and drop the window to the right corner then wait for the snap signal to snap to the other monitor.

If you want the 4x4 grid on your monitors, you can drag and drop the window to the right then press Win + Down key to resize, same goes with the rest. If the issue persists, we suggest updating your drivers.



Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

How to start File Explorer snapped to the left and right?

Hi,

This is what I try to accomplish (Windows 10):

1. I would like to have a shortcut on the desktop for example, that would launch File Explorer automtically snapped to the left (same as if I pressed win+left keys).

2. I would like to have a shortcut on the desktop for example, that would launch File Explorer automtically snapped to the right (same as if I pressed win+right keys).

Is this possible to achive somehow? Or do I need to always initiate the snapping manually, after File Explorer is launched (which is what I do now, but I would like to automate it if possible)?

Thanks

 

Win Key + Left/Right Arrow keys no longer work

This is super irritating, as it was my favorite Windows keyboard command. I'm going to hold off upgrading my work PC until I can find a fix. Anyway, I have a clean Win 10 install here at home. It used to make windows snap to the left or right of the screen
if I pressed the windows logo key plus either left or right arrow key. That functionality all of a sudden no longer works. It's been a few weeks like this. Oddly, Windows key and up or down DO work.

1) Yes my arrow keys all work. Just tried it. Also I've been using them in games.

2) It's a USB keyboard (Das Keyboard to be precise)

3) I'm on Win 10 pro

4) If I drag a window to the left or right of the screen, it'll snap in the manner it should if I pressed Win key + left/right

5) This is a desktop

Not sure what else to try or why it just randomly stopped working but it's my favorite shortcut.
