I am unable to disable the Snap Layout function on my monitor. It is stuck in a three pane selection.

My setup is:

Dell XPS 14 - No snapping here

Dell S2722QC

Snap Windows is disabled in System>Multitasking

This is maddening, I hate the Snap layouts!

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Desktop, Start, and personalization | Desktop

If you have disabled Snap Layouts in the Windows Settings app, most likely this is caused by a Dell utility.

Open the Dell Display Manager app or Dell Display and Peripheral Manager app.

Navigate to the Easy Arrange settings and disable the 'Easy Arrange' setting.

If that was not the cause of the problem, please provide a screenshot of the grid that appears when you move a window on your screen.
