One of these PowerToys features is FancyZones, which lets you split windows in different ways - taking up thirds of your screen, horizontal splitting and so on.Microsoft may be producing fewer smartphones these days but they are still a hardware company that builds very good accessories for its ecosystem and they have been doing this for many years.

If you want to dig even deeper into Windows’ snapping features, you can do so with Microsoft PowerToys, which unlocks a load of extra customisability aimed at Windows 10 power users. So Win + right arrow will snap to the right edge of your first screen, then just do the same again to move it over to the left edge of the second screen, and so on. When you see the snap outline appear for that window, you can let go of the mouse button and it will snap to the edge or corner of the screen.Īlternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts under the previous heading to snap windows freely between your two screens. The solution is to drag the window /slowly/ to the edge of the first screen. Of course, that’s fine if you want to snap your windows on the second screen anyway, but what about snapping to the first screen with a dual-monitor setup? If you’re using two monitors, then you’ll find that when you drag a window over to the edge of the screen it will be pulled over to your second screen instead of snapping to the edge of the first one. Expand ¼ window to ½ window: Win + up/down arrow.Make window fullscreen: Win + up arrow until full screen.

Snap window to corner/quarter of screen: Win + left/right arrow then up/down arrow.
