The Snap feature was first introduced with Windows 7, where I had it disabled. It was still disabled when did the Get Win10 upgrade, and when I did the 1511 and 1607 upgrades, it was only after the 1607 upgrade I discovered the Winkey+arrows can do the snapping too - not sure if that's new in 1607.

New features are rarely disabled by default - in anything.


There are thousands of settings in Windows. Search alone has almost 40, and Defender over a 100. If you have Windows Pro press Winkey+R, type 'gpedit.msc' and see for yourself.

What irritates me is that I now have to use three entirely different tools to change Windows settings - Windows (10) Settings, the Control Panel, and the Local Group Policy Editor - four if I count the Registry Editor.

While that is true that new features are rarely disabled by default, I truly believe Microsoft is failing us in not providing a concise quickstart with at least as much change info as we get for Calibre. We should have a list of what has changed. (No I do not want to go back to the days of a box of manuals for programs)

Yes I can look it up on the internet and find 30 or more sources of what has changed but I truly believe that I should be able to go to Microsoft and download a simple pdf or look at a page and see the changes from version 8.1 to version 10.

I agree with you about the four different places to change things causing problems. I was going bonkers trying to change a setting in control panel and after googling found I had to go to Windows (10) Settings.

And I still can't find a way (I don't think there is one) to keep the title bar of inactive windows from being white! I hate stark white title bars. It draws my eye there. For some reason I find it very difficult to avoid my eye going directly to the white... kind of like an irritant.
