For 2 application windows, it is the standard Windows key + left or right error. Beyond that it gets laborious. If you hit the maximized icon, all gets screwed up. There has to be a better method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Windows 11, there is Snap layouts.  There are several fixed templates to choose from.  Mouse over the Maximize icon in the current window or use Windows + Z key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Microsoft PowerToys. Among other things it does is FancyZones. You can use the suggested templates or create your own. Home a maximized window in the zone, without taking over the entire screen. Now I can have multiple application windows on a screen and not worry about alignment.
