Hi. I turned off snap and now a maximized window on my desktop won't drag and get smaller.
I browsed this site and did the Restorehealth in the command prompt thing, also sys scannow with no help.
In regedit, my hkey current user control panel desktop Drag from Maximum is set to "1".
How do I keep snap off and be able to drag maximized windows?
Thanks

I've found a fix and if anyone is interested still you this is what you need to do to enable/disable this:
There you go, and **** the rest of u lazy morons for lying to people and trying to convince them otherwise.
Have a nice day. :)

You certainly respond with some implied authority. So in your vast and insightful vision of all beings using a computer, I've not clicked the little square icon at the top any window but have always been dragging the corners to make it appear maximized.
Well shucks, I've forgotten this little exercise, which I must have done countless times. Wow!! Scratching my head. EXCUSE ME!
But really, there's some disconnect here. Like I said, I maximize some windows, but did not have to click the double-box icon to reduce the size. All I had to do was drag from the title bar and the window reduced to the previous non-maximized size.
Comon, if you don't want to explain or don't know, just say so.
The Meat
Listen, Robert, I didn't do any of that, I simply grabbed the title bar of the window I had maximized and dragged it down left, down right whatever. That's what I did, always. I didn't have to observe anythhing, didn't have to press anything, just grab and drag wherever I wanted.
Do you work for Microsoft?
That's not a fix.
Comon, I could drag a maximized window for the 2 years I've had the laptop, until a few days ago. Something changed and I want to set it back.
I'm having the exact same issue. I work on two screens and used to drag excel worksheets (maximised worksheets) from screen to screen. Now it wont work. I have to leave maximised mode and then move the window and then maximised it again. This feels like one extra step and I know not the biggest inconvenience, but it is still annoying me.
