It\u2019s a cool split feature that easily lets you place two programs side by side instead of manually resizing windows.<\/p>\n<p>The feature has evolved over the years. For example, Windows 10 allows you to further resize windows into smaller bits using the Windows logo key + Up arrow shortcut. However, Microsoft changed the game in Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>The new operating system\u2019s snap mechanics is the best so far. With your mouse cursor and the keyboard shortcuts, you can quickly turn your PC screen into a multitasking grid.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, things are not always smooth with Windows. And since Windows 11 is still relatively new, a few bumps here and there are expected. For example, some users wonder if the OS comes with the Snap Layouts feature since it\u2019s not working on their PCs for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in this boat, the instructions here will show you how to activate the feature. But first, we\u2019ll walk you through how it works.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does the Snap Layouts Feature Work?<\/h2>\n<p>In Windows 11, all you have to do to use the feature is move your mouse cursor to the Maximize button in any program\u2019s title bar to customize your screen layout. If you\u2019re more comfortable with your keyboard, just tap the Windows logo key + the Up\/Right\/Left key. You can also bring up the Snap Layout grid options by tapping the Windows logo key + Z.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27043 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11.jpeg\" alt=\"How Does the Snap Layouts Feature Work?\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-layouts-windows-11-560x315.jpeg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Win + Z shortcut helps if you want to rearrange programs with customized title bars that won\u2019t support the mouse cursor command.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Is Windows 11\u2019s Snap Layout Feature Not Working?<\/h2>\n<p>The feature might not be working because it\u2019s not activated. However, that\u2019s not the only possible cause of the problem. If you\u2019re still on an Insider Preview build, a bug might be preventing you from enjoying the multi-window arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>You should also make sure your computer\u2019s screen resolution is compatible with Windows 11. The feature might not be working because you\u2019re using a screen resolution less than the required 720p.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, some applications are not compatible with Snap Layouts. These include programs that haven\u2019t been optimized for the split-screen feature, those with a custom control box for windowed layouts, and others with customized title bars.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll show you different ways to enable the feature.<\/p>\n<h2>The Best Fixes for Snap Layouts Not Working in Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>From enabling the feature via the Settings app to tweaking your system\u2019s registry, you\u2019ll find different ways to fix the problem for good.<\/p>\n<h3>Confirm That Your App Supports Snap Layouts<\/h3>\n<p>As we mentioned, some applications don\u2019t support the feature. When you\u2019re in fullscreen mode in these programs, nothing will happen whether you use the Snap keyboard shortcuts or hover your cursor over the Minimize button. One good example is Skitch.<\/p>\n<p>So, make sure you\u2019re not confusing the lack of response from one app for Snap Layouts\u2019 malfunction. Open another program, like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, and check if the feature works. You\u2019ll notice that incompatible programs won\u2019t appear in the suggestion window when you split other programs.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can resize them as you wish and continue to use other applications in the multi-window grid.<\/p>\n<h3>Enable Snap Layouts Via Settings<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, the Snap Layouts feature is enabled by default on Windows 11. However, it might be turned off for some reason. So, follow these steps to turn it back on through the Settings application:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Head to the Windows 11 Settings app using the Windows logo key + I keyboard shortcut.<\/li>\n<li>Scroll down to Multitasking under the System interface.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26991 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/set-up-multitasking-on-windows-11.png\" alt=\"How to set up Multitasking on Windows 11?\" width=\"1380\" height=\"776\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/set-up-multitasking-on-windows-11.png 1380w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/set-up-multitasking-on-windows-11-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/set-up-multitasking-on-windows-11-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/set-up-multitasking-on-windows-11-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/set-up-multitasking-on-windows-11-560x315.png 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1380px) 100vw, 1380px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Toggle the switch for Snap Windows to On when you get to the Multitasking page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26989 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/snap-windows.png\" alt=\"3.
