How to Disable Snap Assist in Windows 10

With the introduction of Windows 10, Microsoft unveiled a powerful feature known as Snap that has revolutionized multitasking on the operating system. The Snap feature allows users to better utilize their screen real estate and seamlessly switch between different tasks. One of its additional features is Snap Assist, which suggests other apps to fill the remaining space. However, not everyone enjoys this feature, and fortunately, there is a simple way to disable it.

Snap Assist can be annoying for some users as it automatically maximizes certain windows when dragged too close to the edge of the screen. To turn off this automatic window resizing, you need to adjust the Windows settings. Here's how:

1. Launch the Settings app by opening the Start menu and clicking on the small gear icon on the left side of the Start menu.

2. Click on 'Multitask' in the sidebar or press Windows + i to start it.

3. Locate the option 'Adjust windows' and flip the switch to turn it off.

Once you've disabled Snap Assist, you can place your windows anywhere on the screen without them snapping into place automatically. You no longer have to worry about certain windows maximizing when dragged close to the edge of the screen. This will give you more control over your desktop layout and allow you to customize your workspace as needed.

It's worth noting that disabling Snap Assist does not affect the overall functionality of the Snap feature in Windows 10. You can still use Snap to organize your windows and optimize your workspace, but without the automatic window resizing and suggestion features.
