Hello,

I've been able to use a windows feature since Windows 7 (now using Windows 10). If you place your mouse pointer at either vertical edge of a window and double click you are able to expand that window vertically to the edges of the screen.

Where can I toggle this setting in the operating system? I am able to do this on my desktop but for whatever reason, I cannot do it on my laptop. Both systems are running Windows 10. One was a clean install while the laptop was an upgrade so I'm not sure if thats the possible cause or not.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Go to the settings app (easy way is open the notification center and click settings), then System, Multitasking. The options are right there. Just remember that unlike 7, you now have corner snapping as well, so use the middle of the left or right side for full use. You can also press the Windows key and the left or right arrow to do the same (much faster too!)
