Windows 10: Windows keep snapping to the left after I click only "left arrow"

My windows keep snapping to the left if I click "left arrow", what I know is it should be "windows key + left arrow". It really bugs me because I can't really work even the easiest ms. word job, or maybe rewind my streaming. When I have 2 different opened windows tab and I click "left arrow" and its snaps again. I know I can turn off snap window, but I tend to work on 2 tabs. I tried to find keyboard shortcut setting, but I didn't find it, could somebody help?Btw my windows 11 is up to date.

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.

 

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.

 

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
