touchscreenwindowwindows 10
When I drag a window on my Windows 10 laptop I get this blue rectangle that appears that follows my mouse around and lets me snap the window to a portion of the screen.
I suspect that it may have to do with the fact that my laptop has a touchscreen and that it's supposed to make it easier to dock windows, but I don't really know.
Does anybody know how to get rid of this?
It is a question of speed of your cursor.
If you move a window slowly towards (or do a brief stop close to) the edge between your two screens, your chances that Windows will think that you want to snap that window are high. Then it will block your cursor "to help you".
If you move your window more quickly you won't have this behaviour and you'll barely notice the small circle that is displayed when snapping.
If you move really fast, Windows won't even display that circle.
Thus, avoid stopping close to that edge or increase your cursor speed. Hope it helps.
Aha! Turning off Pen Flicks seems to correct for this.
(I thought I'd done that when I first started using this machine - it's part of my usual checklist of disruptive Windows defaults to undo - but it looks like I missed it on this device)
Best Answer
You can get rid of the blue box by turning off the narrator (cap lock+esc).
