Whenever I hover the mouse pointer over the Maximize Window symbol, an annoying pop-up window is displayed showing options to arrange the open windows in various ways on the screen. It doesn't stop me maximizing the window but how can I prevent this pop-up from appearing?

- Has that always been so or only since a recent (Windows) update or app-installation?
- Do you use any apps to modify Windows, like Explorer Patcher, StartAllBack, Windhawk?
- Can you please post a screenshot of what is displayed?

I always have the setting Snap Windows off as soon as I install Windows.
So I never have any of those effects...
That's why I did not fully get what @BruceUK was pointing at.
But now I tried and it's fully clear! (y)
