Automatically Resize Windows to Fill Available Space When Snapping

"Is there a method to restore the option to manually resize windows instead of having them automatically fill the available space when snapped? Appreciate your help."

    1.Snap Layouts
    Hover over the maximize button of any window; you’ll see different layout options for snapping.
    Select the grid layout you prefer, and Windows will automatically resize the windows to fit the selected layout.
    Snap Assist:
    2.Drag a window to the left or right edge of your screen. When you let go, it will snap to that half of the screen.
    If other open windows exist, Windows will suggest snapping those to the other half.
    3.Keyboard Shortcuts:
    Snap a window to the left: Windows Key + Left Arrow
    Snap a window to the right: Windows Key + Right Arrow
    After snapping one window to the side, Snap Assist will show open applications on the other side for easy selection.
    4.Adjust Snap Settings:
    Open Settings (press Windows Key + I).
    Go to System > Multitasking.
    Here you can enable or disable features related to snapping and adjust how windows behave.
