Snap Assist feature in Windows 11/10
In Windows 10, when you snap an app with the mouse, the improved Snap Assist feature shows up instantly and displays a thumbnail list of your open windows. It then allows you to click one of them and have it snapped to the left or right side of the screen. On the other hand, if you snapped a window on Windows 7 or 8, the Windows OS just displayed the empty space and waited for you to snap a second app. If you snap a window to one side, Windows 10’s Snap Assist will arrange the other open windows in the remaining blank space of your computer screen as thumbnails. It comes into play only when you have half or quarter of your screen empty.
