In Windows 11, Snap Layouts is a feature that allows you to easily organize and arrange open windows on your screen, making multitasking more efficient. Here's how to use Snap Layouts in Windows 11:
-
Open and Arrange Windows:
- Open the applications or windows you want to arrange on your screen.
-
Hover Over the Maximize Button:
- Move your mouse cursor over the maximize button (the middle button in the upper right corner of a window).
-
Select a Snap Layout:
- When you hover over the maximize button, a set of snap layouts will appear on your screen. These layouts will show you how the window will be arranged if you choose that layout.
- Click on one of the snap layouts that suits your needs. For example, you can choose to have the window take up half the screen, a quarter of the screen, etc.
-
Repeat for Other Windows:
- If you have additional windows you want to organize, follow the same process for each window. Snap Layouts will automatically adjust the available space on your screen to accommodate the windows you select.
-
Resizing and Adjusting:
- After arranging windows using Snap Layouts, you can resize them by clicking and dragging the window's border.
- You can also move a window to a different part of the screen by clicking and dragging the window's title bar.
- If you want to switch to a different snap layout, you can click on the maximize button again and select a new layout.
-
Exit Snap Layouts:
- To exit Snap Layouts and return to a single window, simply click on the "X" button in the top right corner of any window.
Snap Layouts in Windows 11 makes it easy to organize your open windows, whether you're working with multiple applications, documents, or web pages. It's a handy feature for improving productivity and multitasking efficiency.
