May I suggest to try using snap before you disable it. Great for copying text from on application to another and from one document to another, copying and moving files/folders between drives. and comparing file/folder contents side by side. If you're not a multi-tasker, it won't mean much to you, but if you are, it becomes invaluable.
Here's a good article with video that shows how it works. How to Use Snap Layouts in Windows 11 - Instructions - TeachUcomp, Inc.
