I just tried a proctor and adjusted some settings on my monitors. Now, when I switch from my left screen to the right one slowly, my cursor gets stuck at the edge of the left screen—something that never happened before. The only way to move it is by dragging it quickly, which isn’t ideal. Anyone have any ideas?

This function is designed to align windows on one side of the screen, which I find quite useful. Unfortunately, I don’t have any information on how to turn it off or whether it’s actually possible. It looks like a solid part of the system, and unless you locate it in an advanced settings menu, disabling it seems unlikely. I’ll investigate further.

Update: It appears this capability is named Snap Assist. You can disable it, but it wouldn’t just prevent snapping to the display boundary—it would halt snap functionality entirely. If you’re okay with manually adjusting your window sizes, this might resolve the problem.
