With Windows 11, you may enable or disable the functionality known as “Snaplayouts,” which allows you to quickly snap windows on the screen by hovering your cursor over the maximize button in File Explorer or other apps.
The feature’s awareness of the display’s size is perhaps its best feature; it allows you to snap windows in different ways based on the size of your canvas. Additionally, you will see a glimpse of how it is snapped with another app when you mouse over the app icon in the taskbar.
This post will teach you how to activate or deactivate Windows 11’s snap layouts help feature in the window’s maximize button.
