Hi, I'm dealing with three monitors and often need to rearrange windows in browsers, software, folders, or images for my multimedia work. The Multitasking Snapping feature works well when splitting windows, but sometimes I prefer dragging them without snapping. It seems the snapping sensitivity has increased recently. Previously, I used gentle drags, now it prompts me to snap constantly. I'm trying to use the Window key + Arrow for faster replacement of multiple windows, but it feels slower. Can anyone suggest ways to lower the snapping sensitivity without turning it off? Also, would it help to set a delay—like 0.5 seconds—before a window snaps? Thanks!

Switching between displays affects how snapping works, and speed plays a big role in whether it catches the movement. Moving quickly might miss it, while going slowly helps it register.

It's common to move too slowly, and you're looking for a more gradual adjustment. Perhaps reducing the sensitivity incrementally could help.

It seems there isn’t a known tool or registry option for this. The sensitivity appears low, and you might be able to work around it by moving your wrist near the screen edge.

Have you checked if your mouse is set to a lower DPI?

It's only two steps away from the top speed. The texture is really sticky. Sticky.mp4

That’s unusual. It seems more sensitive than my settings. Could you tell me which version of Windows you’re using? You might type "Winver" in the search bar. Are you referring to mouse sensitivity, or adjusting DPI on your mouse?

Version 1909 is still in use. I often apply Windows updates. It's good to know my experience isn't typical since few others face the same issue.

I couldn't reproduce the problem at higher pointer speeds, which makes it hard to figure out. I have Windows version 2004, but I don’t recall encountering this issue in 1909—it’s unusual.
