You can also simply prevent layout options from appearing when you hover over the minimize\/maximize button, as we\u2019ll explain below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Disable Snap Assist in Windows 10<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Disable_Snap_Layouts_in_Windows_11\"><\/span>How to Disable Snap Layouts in Windows 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To disable Snap Layouts in Windows 11, open the Settings app on your PC.
