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

    Thank you for the solution. I inadvertently turned off the ability to drag maximized windows and it made things feels so awkward.

    The solution worked perfectly.

    I had the same problem too. I had turned on Snap setting: Snap Window.

    This disallowed me to drag a maximized window from display 1 to display 2.

    Turning off the Snap Window, I couldnt move a Maximized window.

    It turns out that moving a maximized window works in Snap window mode On when you move that window to the other display fast. Moving it slow makes Windows think that you want to snap it, as if you are parking a car backwards and.. slow.

    Solution to move maximized windows:

    1. Keep Snap Window On
    2. For Snapping a maximized window, move your mouse slow to the edge of a display
    3. For moving a maximized window (to a different display), move the maximized window fast

    Awesome!

    Go to Settings, System, then Multitasking, turn on Snap Windows from there.

    when you drag and hit the corners does it become half screen sized?? 

    for me it doesn't.
