![]() With the latest Windows 10 operating system, Microsoft has made the window snapping feature easy to use and also made it robust. Instead of switching between the app, you can also keep multiple windows open to the screen to ease of access. Snap Assist has been a handy feature since Windows 7 that many users don’t realize even exists until they accidentally “snap” a window somewhere they don’t want it.Windows operating system has always been the best for multi-tasking as you can easily run multiple applications at once and quite easily and quickly switch between them. By improving upon features, such as Snap Assist in Windows 10, Microsoft can slowly help users take advantage of some of the different ways they can use the OS. ![]() Windows 8/8.1 was supposed to help users become more efficient and productive when using intuitive features built-in to the OS, but unfortunately, it was too much. Microsoft hasn’t released a list of apps that don’t quite work properly with it, yet, but if you’ve tinkered around with the Windows 10 Technical Preview, you know that you can’t quite count on the glitches happening to tell you what apps will work when Windows 10 launches. This will likely be fixed in a variety of Windows Updates once the OS is released to the public. This has to do with changes they’ve made to Windows apps to convert to Windows Universal Apps, such as Office, OneDrive and more. Windows Universal Apps at launch won’t always work with Snap Assist properly. You’ll use the Windows Key + Left Arrow to snap a program, app or window into one side of the screen, then use the Windows Key + Up/Down Arrow to snap it to a corner. You can then drag and drop other windows, apps and programs to other corners until you’ve filled each corner.Ģ×2 Snap Assist can also be used with keyboard shortcuts, such as the Windows Key + Left Arrow/Right Arrow/Up Arrow/Down Arrow. In order to use 2×2 Snap Assist, you’ll move a window to one of the four corners of your screen until it snaps into place. Windows 10 will also introduce 2×2 Snap Assist, allowing you to snap up to four apps, programs or windows to a screen as opposed to the two in Windows 7 and 8/8.1. If you press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow again, you’ll maximize the selected window to full screen mode. In order to use vertical Snap Assist, you’ll use Windows Key + Up Arrow/Down Arrow to snap an app to the top or bottom of your screen. Unfortunately, vertical Snap Assist can’t be used with a mouse, only keyboard shortcuts for now. ![]() Windows 10 will improve Snap Assist by introduced vertical snapping to the OS. The Windows Key + Left Arrow/Right Arrow keyboard shortcuts will still work in Windows 10 to use Snap Assist, though they won’t open the thumbnail view that makes this feature more intuitive to use. In Windows 7 and 8/8.1, you’d be given a blank space to work with until you snapped another window, app or program there, in Windows 10, Windows does the work for you and fills the space much quicker this way. In Windows 10, when you follow the same steps, you’ll be greeted by thumbnails that you can click on that will automatically snap that window, program or app to one side of the screen.
