Microsoft developers are always working overtime looking to release new updates for Windows users. New treatments are being tried on the Snap layouts in Windows 11. These treatments include decreasing the hover time needed for invoking the flyout when you bring your mouse over the maximum/restore button in any app’s title bar.
Aside from that, you’ll also get to pull in the icon of the app window that you’re working in. Moreover, you will also be able to add a descriptive title. Currently, these titles are being tested in Windows 11 Build 25300 and they’re being rolled out to the Insider Preview users.
