3. Click the specific zone where you want your current active window to live.
4. Windows Snap Assist will automatically step in and prompt you to click the other open apps you want to fill the remaining empty spaces.

Want to organize your screen without ever touching your mouse? Use the keyboard shortcut Win + Z to instantly open the Snap Layouts menu on your active window, then press the corresponding number keys to select your layout.
