Just installed the Windows 11 Preview, if I hover over the maximise button in Notepad, I see the new snap dialog:

Snap working in Notepad in Windows 11

But in an application like Visual Studio 2022 Preview (1.1), I don't see it:

Snap not working in VS 2022 Preview

Do applications have to be configured to support this, or is this a bug with the Windows 11 Preview build?

More to the point, do I as an Application Developer need to make changes to my application to support this feature in Windows 11?

Thanks

    Your [intial](https://superuser.com/revisions/1659698/1) revision was broad the current revision is less broad. The close reason simply was "Needs details or clarity" which you provided. – Ramhound Jul 01 '21 at 20:54

It seems that currently (preview build 22000.51) Windows 11 Snap layouts do not show when hovering over the maximize button for applications using a custom non-Win32/UWP title bar.

You can use the ⊞ Win + Z keyboard shortcut to open the Snap layouts menu instead. I tried this on Windows 11 and it worked for applications like Firefox, Visual Studio 2022 Preview, VS Code, and Discord.

  • Thankyou, Win + Z works perfectly! – JMK Jun 30 '21 at 17:33

    [Windows Snap Layout](https://aka.ms/AAd2eci) clearly has problems. However, with that great feedback "it doesn't work", it will be a miracle if it's actually fixed. – Ramhound Jul 01 '21 at 21:00

    Hah yeah I've been submitting and going through Feedback Hub as well. Not all feedback is great but [this one regarding Snap layouts got a Microsoft response](https://aka.ms/AAd2ed3). The title and response aren't directly referencing the issue here but other feedback in the collection may have (unfortunately we can't see the whole collection). I'm sure they still have a lot of work to do on Snap. – MC10 Jul 01 '21 at 21:16
