    Hello,New build, Win 11 64-bit. I have tried the mouse and display drivers, not in tablet mode, scannow, etc.This only happens with File Explorer when not maximized.With a file explorer window in any size less than maximized, I cannot drag the window from anywhere along the title bar except for just to the left of the minimize button. The same is true for the right-click menu you get when clicking on the title bar - I only get it when the mouse cursor is just to the left of the minimize button. If I try to drag from the center of the title bar, or right-click from the center of the title bar -

    :)

    Dragging maximized window to lower monitor loses maxmization

    My two monitors are mounted vertically, A on the top, B on the bottom. When I drag a maximized window from B to A, it auto-maximizes on A if I release the drag right at the top of the monitor due to SNAP's "arrange windows automatically when dragged to top of screen". But there seems to be NO WAY to drag a maximized window from A to B. It loses its maximized state no matter what. I fear this inability is a feature not a bug! Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

    in win 10, maximized window won't drag

    I had the same problem too. I had turned on Snap setting: Snap Window.

    This disallowed me to drag a maximized window from display 1 to display 2.

    Turning off the Snap Window, I couldnt move a Maximized window.

    It turns out that moving a maximized window works in Snap window mode On when you move that window to the other display fast. Moving it slow makes Windows think that you want to snap it, as if you are parking a car backwards and.. slow.

    Solution to move maximized windows:

    1. Keep Snap Window On
    2. For Snapping a maximized window, move your mouse slow to the edge of a display
    3. For moving a maximized window (to a different display), move the maximized window fast
