Even though Snap has been around for over 16 years now, it seems that not all Windows users are familiar with it.

To me it's really annoying in its default setup of suggesting what to snap around it and such, once those options are disabled to make it so it just snaps to the sides (side by side) or corners (4 windows), snap is quite useful, except that it does not like to memorize where windows are at so when they are re-opened it aligns it a few pixels off.

Maybe if you used an ultrawide or multiple monitors it may be more useful, but that's a vast minority of people.

it does not like to memorize where windows are at so when they are re-opened it aligns it a few pixels off.

This annoys me to no end. Just about anything can disturb the desired window’s size and positioning:

• Plugging in another display or switching displays (even if it’s the same aspect ratio)
• Monitor turned off and back on or computer waking up from sleep
• A Windows update

What’s worse, sometimes the windows gradually get smaller and smaller after each auto-resize. There isn’t an easy way to reset all the sizes and positions back to their defaults (or what you had manually set before) other than painstakingly moving everything back into place. Every application has its own method of persisting its windows’ positions and sizes.

More slowly-animated popup ads for one drive and upsells to other annoying un-removable data-stealing Microsoft apps, which literally everyone hates?

Sure man, that will fix windows 11's atrocious ~30% market share. Why TF Not?

Make sure all the app logos are blue and similarly-shaped too. Just do it. Do it harder. Give the people responsible for making your desktop ecosystem utterly untouchable another 3 promotions and a super-duper yacht. Nobody cares anymore.

Oh c'mon Microsoft. Stop fiddling with these useless features and fix Outlook, you know, the New Outlook.
Horrible piece of software missing tons of features.
It feels like beta software.
