General Support Windows 11 Suddenly Started to Resize and Move my Open Windows Position

I am experiencing a frustrating issue with my Windows 11 system where open windows suddenly resize and shift positions on their own. This behavior occurs intermittently, disrupting my workflow and making it difficult to manage multiple applications effectively. It seems to happen without any specific trigger, and I am unsure if it is related to recent updates, software conflicts, or a settings issue.

    Incorrect display settings can sometimes cause windows to behave unexpectedly. Adjust Settings:

    • Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings.
    • Ensure that your Resolution is set to the recommended value.
    • Scroll down to Scale and layout and check the scaling settings. Ensure it's set to a standard percentage (like 100% or 125%).

    1. If Snap Assist is the culprit:
    Go to Settings > System > Multitasking. Toggle off Snap windows and see if the issue persists.

    2. Check Display Settings: Ensure that your display settings are optimal. Right-click on the desktop and select Display settings. Make sure that your resolution and scaling settings are appropriate. If you are using multiple monitors, ensure they are correctly configured.
