How to disable Windows 10 top edge auto maximize 'feature'?
Andrew Mclaughlin
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.

Here's my update:
- Start Menu
- Settings
- Search 'snap'
- 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).
1Go to:
Start menu
Settings
Search "snap"
Switch off "arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen
