Disable Automatic Maximizing of Windows in Win10

Thank-you for the detailed instructions for disabling this "feature" that some people find annoying.

In Windows 10, the route to get to this setting is a little different. Follow this path to get there. . .

Control Panel

Ease of Access Center

Make the mouse easier to use

Once here, the remaining steps are identical.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. One can create a shortcut to open ALL Control Panel options at once in Windows Explorer. Simply Right-Click on the Desktop, select New, then Shortcut. Enter this string in the Location box.

%WinDir%\explorer.exe shell:::{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

Make your shortcut "nice" by changing the default name "Explorer" to something more appropriate, like "ControlAll" -- and change the icon too.

If using this shortcut, click on Turn off automatic Windows arrangements (It's under the Ease of Access heading) to disable the Edge Resizing behaviour.

Note: This "ControlAll" shortcut will work in earlier Windows versions too.

P.P.S.

For people who prefer to use the Registry to do this type of alteration. . .

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Both options are disabled. Remove the comment character prefixed to the strings you want to activate.
