If your windows are resizing and moving on their own in Windows 11, try these fixes:

  1. Disable Snap Layouts:
    • Go to Settings > System > Multitasking and toggle off Snap windows.
  2. Check Display Settings:
    • Ensure scaling and resolution are set correctly in Settings > System > Display. Multiple monitors with mismatched settings can cause window behavior issues.
  3. Update Graphics Drivers:
    • Open Device Manager, update your Display adapters, and restart.
  4. Test for Hardware Issues:
    • Disconnect your mouse/keyboard to rule out stuck keys or faulty hardware.
    • If you use a touchpad, check for gesture sensitivity in its settings.
  5. Run System File Checker:
    • Open Command Prompt (Admin) and run:bashsfc /scannow

If the issue persists, perform a clean boot to identify potential app conflicts.
