  1. Windows snap problem


    For some reason, the screen snaps instead of sliding to a new desktop. The Windows for programs also don't close by fading away. This problem only seems to occur on my Windows account, but if I switch to another user, it works just fine.

    Here is my account.





    Here is another user.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    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.

  3. Windows 10 Snapping problems

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I need some more information to assist you in a better way.

    1. What the current resolution of the computer?

    2. What is the make and model of the computer?

    3. Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

    You should update the Display drivers and graphic drivers from device managers.



    To fix this problem, use the following methods in the order in which they are listed. After each method, check if problem is fixed. If the problem is not fixed, try the next method.



    Method 1: First let’s check the screen resolution.


    • Right click the Desktop and select Screen Resolution.

    • The resolution must be at least 1366x768 to use the Snap feature.

    Method 2: Update the Device Drivers and graphic drivers on the Computer.



    Step 1: Check the Windows updates for any latest driver updates.



    Check in Windows updates if any driver updates are available. If so, install the same and check if it helps.



    a) Press “Windows Logo” key from the keyboard.

    b) Type “Updates” in the search bar and click on “Install optional updates” from the left pane.

    c) From the “Windows Update” window, click on “Check for Updates” on the top left corner, to receive a fresh list of updates and then install all the updates listed there.

    Hope this helps, keep us posted

    Windows snap problem

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
