Hello everyone, I’m looking for ways to manage my screen usage better. Right now I’m using about a third of my screen for the browser while the game takes up the rest. Sometimes I accidentally drag the window around and it keeps happening. I’m wondering if there’s a shortcut or setting that can automatically toggle window movement so it doesn’t keep occurring. I’ve searched but haven’t found the right term, so I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

You cannot turn off window dragging. An option to explore is FancyZones from Microsoft PowerToys. It allows you to configure custom window snapping, helping you fix windows that shift unexpectedly.

Pick a low-cost used monitor and set it up as a secondary screen for your browser, Discord, or whatever you're using while gaming. Expect some frustration along the way.

I’ve already configured those advanced zones, so everything stays consistent each time. I’m sure my display has a split setup I can test, which is great inspiration! Thanks!
