Not sure I can help personally but while you're waiting for others, what do you mean by "snap" in this context? Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

I think the OP means touching edge and snap to left, right, or full screen. Windows 10 has more of this than prior systems but I rarely use them so I won't be of much help. All program windows should behave the same as these are system rules. You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

Fingers Thanks. I turned all that off way back, because I found it a nuisance. I then forgot all about it. Seems I'm a "manual" person (or control freak - hence my batch files). mykie133 I doubt there are many Maxthon users here but keep watching. In the meantime you could try uninstalling it, restarting the computer, then installing it again. It might help if something messed up during the install. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Generally all you have to do is tag a blank area at the top of the browser window & then drag the entire window to the left or right until it goes 1/2 screen. I don't use Maxthon but I can't image it not working because it's not a "browser thing", it's a "Windows thing".

I've been using Windows in various guises for around 25 years and I have to confess this issue has me stumped. Out of all the programs I have used on Windows, Maxthon is the only one that doesn't behave and won't snap left or right to 1/2 screen.

I know it is a Windows feature but did you try re-installing Maxthon as per #3? Sometimes there are hiccups during the install. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

I just downloaded & installed the latest version of Maxthon & F10 gives a split screen, does that help? https://i.imgur.com/9ilBdfw.gif

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice with no success. The suggestion re F10 does create a split screen but within Maxthon only. It doesn't create a split screen to work with other windows. The F10 option is ok for reading two screens within Maxthon but doesn't work when copying and pasting from one window/program to another.

See if the solution is in this link. http://www.thewindowsclub.com/multi...

Just to follow up on this, it appears that Maxthon has not created settings that allow its' windows to be shrunk as such shrinkage causes issues with loss of information on pages. Basically, the creators have not done what every other browser does to work with Windows and there are some unhappy users likely to switch away from it. Thanks to those who have tried to provide solutions.
