Window Alignment


Why do windows now have a gap between them? I find this with lots of programs and is a pain when organising my desktop. In Windows 8 there would be no gap between these 2 windows in my example below. Is this a bug or is this part of Windows 10 design?


Can confirm, this happens to my TeamViewer as well. Not sure why. Also it snaps into this place as if intended. I think this will be updated by TeamViewer as it is probably their problem rather than Microsofts.

Ignore: looks like a teamviewer issue

Windows 10 windows are virtually borderless but the placeholders are still there.
(Even if you have a bordered theme, some snap-ins will not show a border)


Teamviewer was just an example, it's not limited to this app, I see it with others, even explorer. If I use the side by side function, which I often use for 2 explorer windows, I get this. In Windows 8, there were no gaps, this looks untidy and seems like a unfinished product.

If windows 10 windows are borderless, you'd have though MS would allow snap to take this into account and fill the screen correctly.

This I cannot see on my computer. For Windows there are no spaces in between windows:


How do you put them side by side? using Windows key left/right?

By right clicking the taskbar and selecting "Show windows side by side".

I believe that is done by design, but it's not an issue if you drag a windows to the edge or win-key + directional arrows.

hmm, well whilst I like most of the features of windows 10, this I do not like, it is completely different from all versions I have used. It feels unfinished and in a corporate environment where productivity is key it would be pretty poor. I'm not sure why MS felt this needed changing from Windows 8.1. Maybe I'm being picky, but I like the way I use my PC and how it's laid out, I don't like the new window features or the start menu in Windows 10 (Using Start10 instead), so in the end I may end up going back to Windows 8.1.
