W11 Pro and previous versions include the tiling option. To activate it, adjust the window position so the top selection appears, or click the expand button. Besides the usual snap feature, there are three extra layouts (yellow) available. (placing a tile in a corner or along the edge). Do you have a method to modify the tiling window settings for more choices or fixed tile dimensions? I understand you can resize tiles after placement, but changing the new window size will revert it back to the original tile size. I haven’t tried it yet. In Linux there’s a Hyland tiling manager that seems better at handling many different window sizes. Are there similar tools in Windows? I’m also seeking solutions that don’t require installing third-party programs, especially for work environments where software flexibility is limited. I was expecting something built into Windows itself.

I was planning to recommend it earlier, but I’m not sure what’s causing issues—it’s remained consistent over the years. I haven’t experienced any problems with it in Windows 10 or 11.

I created custom zones at home but had to reconfigure often. The power tool kept showing "new features" alerts. I wasn’t sure if updates caused this. Eventually, I removed it and switched to the regular snaps. At work, I use an Nvidia card with their RTX manager for static tiling—it works perfectly. Both setups have the same tile size, which limits flexibility. The window tiling manager (image above) lets me adjust tiles somewhat, but not fully. It would be great if it supported many sizes and resized them optimally. This would be helpful for multitasking with large monitors. Also, all my home and work configurations use two 43" screens, so standard tiling doesn’t perform well. After watching Hyprland videos, this setup seems promising for handling various tile dimensions. But since it’s Linux, it doesn’t help on Windows.

unless you rely on powertoys or the NVIDIA RX Manager—since you mentioned there are no alternatives on Windows (at least based on my understanding)—you may need to search GitHub for suitable tools. Remember, the experience you saw on Linux might not translate directly to Windows, though it could be similar in some aspects.

I really don't like this since you keep needing to adjust it once the windows are closed. I prefer windows to stay open in the chosen tiles unless you tell me otherwise. Otherwise, it feels unnecessary and a bit frustrating.

Alright. thanks for the input. so it looks like at work I'm best of using a mix of RTX manager, and this windows native tiling. I also started using the multiple desktops (Window+tab). It looks like RTX manager also can handle the multiple desktops and assign different layouts. Like I can set up one desktop for design work. And another for normal outlook/file/browser work At home i may look into fancy zone again (allthough i hate installing more stuff). But at home i have way less need to use sophisticated tiling.
