How to Create a Full-Screen App with Snap Layouts
Snap Layouts is a new feature in Windows 11 that lets you organize multiple app windows on the screen more easily and quickly. This feature can also be used to create a full-screen application by attaching the application window to one corner of the screen.
To use Snap Layouts, you need to open the app you want to run in full-screen mode, then hover over the top-right corner of the app window. You’ll see a Snap Layouts icon that’s in the form of four small squares. Click on the icon to see the layout options available.
Choose a layout that fills the entire screen, that is, the top-leftmost layout. The application window will automatically stick to the entire screen and become full screen. To return to normal mode, you can click on the Snap Layouts icon again and select another layout or click on the Restore Down icon which is boxed in the box.
Tips and Tricks for Managing Full-Screen Apps in Windows 11
After you have successfully created a full-screen app on Windows 11, you might want to know some tips and tricks to better manage your full-screen apps. Here are some tips and tricks you can try:
