#Turn off snap assist windows#
From there, other windows may be selected to occupy the remaining slots of the layout. Letting go aligns the dropped window accordingly on the screen. Windows 11 shows a preview of the area on the screen as well to provide better visuals. To maximize the windows, move it besides the Snap Assist layouts.Įach layout and section of the layout becomes selectable when you move the window over it. Once the window touches the bar, Snap Assist layouts are displayed. Whenever a window is moved on the screen, Windows 11 displays a bar at the top. The second change improves the visibility of Snap Assist and unlocks the functionality on touch-powered devices. Hovering over the maximize window button does not display the numbers this means, that you can't tap on a number on the keyboard to select a layout or assign a window to a position in the layout. Note that the numbers are only displayed if the keyboard shortcut Windows-Z is used. The remaining open windows are displayed then and may be selected using the arrow keys and the Enter-key.
Press the number to assign the active window to the section of the layout. Once done, even more numbers, starting with 1, show up for each of the available sections of the selected layout. Just tap on one of the numbers to select that layout. With the WindUpdate comes support for that. In the release version of Windows 11, keyboard users had no option to select one of the layouts using the keyboard. There, users had options to display one window on one side of the screen and two windows split in half vertically, or four windows on the screen, with each occupying a corner of the screen. Microsoft introduced support for snapping windows to a quarter of the screen in Windows 10. All it takes for that is to drop a program window to the left or right side of the screen. Windows supports snapping two program windows next to each other on the desktop. Even those who know that it exists, may forget that it is an option at times. In fact, many Windows 11 users are probably unaware that Snap Assist does exist. The beauty of Snap Assist is that it extends Windows' ability to display multiple windows next to each other on the screen without getting in the way.
Users may choose the location of the active window and of other windows that they want to be visible again. Windows 11 displays the available layouts and the selection of one of the layouts aligns the active window and other windows that are open accordingly. The keyboard shortcut Windows-Z may also be used to invoke the feature. Snap Assist is accessed by hovering the mouse cursor over the maximize button of windows.
