Here’s a quick series of shots that highlights how this works. With the new docking/undocking experience, Windows 11 likewise remembers the layouts of individual windows across multiple displays, and over time. With Snap Layouts, Windows 11 remembers the onscreen positions of windows you’ve arranged with Snap Groups, and it lets you easily reassemble those groups. When you think about it, the new docking/undocking experience in Windows 11 is very similar to Snap Layouts in that it’s all about remembering window layouts. What you can do, assuming you are on Windows 7, is to send the AreoSnap Keypress to the currently active window. And as the windows return to the external display, the image on the external display appears to throb and then expand as they reappear. When you re-dock or re-attach an external display, the primary display appears to throb and contract. Microsoft also helps us understand this shift between states with a subtle animation. Maximized windows remain maximized, for example, and floating windows will still float at the same size, and in the same place, as before. So when you re-dock or re-attach the external display, any open windows that were previously on that display return to that display automatically.īetter still, those windows remember their position and size. Now, Windows remembers the positions of windows on external displays. To access this menu, hover your mouse cursor over the maximize button in the window’s title bar. On the left pane, click on ‘Multitasking’. Now that Windows 11 supports snapping more than just two windows side-by-side or four windows in a grid, Microsoft has introduced a handy pop-up menu that lets you quickly pick a layout. Here’s how you access can Snap Assist settings in Windows 10: Open Settings (press Windows key + I simultaneously) and click on System. With Windows 11, it’s that latter scenario that changes. Snap Assist is enabled by default, but you can disable it or manually tweak the features depending on your use case. It’s up to you to reposition the windows you want on the external display. But when you re-dock or re-attach the external display, nothing happens. If you’re familiar with how multiple displays work in Windows 10, you know that any windows you have open on an external display will move to the primary display (as on a laptop) when you undock or unplug the external display. And it’s as simple to describe as it is wonderful to experience. Those who use a PC with one or more multiple displays will appreciate a major change to how the docking and undocking experience works in Windows 11.
