Windows 7 W-7 app window auto-resizing

[EVC]

when I drag an application window near the edge of the screen, the window automatically switches to full screen. Is there a way to turn this behavior off? It's driving me nuts!

It sounds like you are experiencing a feature in Windows called "Snap Assist" or "Aero Snap," which automatically maximizes windows when dragged to the edge of the screen. Here's how you can disable this feature: 1. Using Settings: - Open Settings by pressing Windows + I. - Go to System > Multitasking. - Toggle off the switch for "Snap Windows" under Snap. 2. Using Control Panel: - Right-click on the start menu button and select Control Panel. - Go to Ease of Access > Change how your mouse works. - Uncheck the box for "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen". After making these changes, dragging a window near the edge of the screen should no longer trigger the automatic full-screen behavior. Let me know if you need more assistance with this!
