Win10/Win11: When I drag a window to the top or left or right edge of the screen, the size changes.

This time, we will introduce the causes and solutions for when a window changes size when you drag it to the top or left or right edge of the screen in Windows 10/11.

In Windows 10/11, the multitasking feature "Snap Windows" is enabled by default.

"Window Snap" is a feature that automatically adjusts the size of a window when you drag it to the top or left or right edge of the screen, and allows you to maximize or display it side by side.

If you do not need this feature, you can disable it in the settings.

Disable multitasking "window snapping"

1. Press Windows Key + R to open Run, enter the following code and press Enter:

ms-settings:multitasking

2. "Multitasking" will open, so turn "Snap Windows" off.

If you want to keep window snapping "on" but disable some features, uncheck the boxes in the submenu.
