I hate my apps being maximized when I try to reposition my apps near the top.

I love the left/right edge snap though. I just hate the top edge snap.

Most tips I found are for Windows 7, they no longer work for Windows 10.

Is there a way to disable Windows 10 top snap / auto maximize 'feature'?

Edit: I don't want to disable left/right snap, I just want to disable top edge snap. Because very often when I am trying to move my app to top edge, Windows will maximize it instead of moving, which I find is BS.

  • Noone has found a way disable *just the top-edge snap* AFAIK; however, changing the string value `DockMoving` to 0 in the `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop` registry key disables the mouse drag edge snapping but leaves the keyboard shortcuts (Win-Left, Win-Right) enabled.

Here's my update:

  1. Start Menu
  2. Settings
  3. Search 'snap'
  4. switch off 'When I snap a window, automatically size it to fill available space'

Note this won't completely eliminate top snapping, but it doesn't seem to do it as quickly as before AND it doesn't eliminate left/right snap (those are fabulous, I agree).

Go to:

  1. Start menu

  2. Settings

  3. Search "snap"

  4. Switch off "arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen

    I should have made it clearer, I love the left/right snap, I just want to disable the top snap. Edited my question to emphasis that. – Rosdi Feb 21 '17 at 02:53
