Snap to top of screen in Windows 10 on portrait monitor

In Windows 10, is there a way to snap to top and bottom of screen (instead of maximising on dragging to top of screen for example) on my portrait monitor?

Solution 1:

There is also a PowerToys from Microsoft. I.e. you don't need to trust a third-party developer and it's free. It has a feature called FancyZones where you can divide your monitors into zones(grid) and have the windows snap to that grid that you have configured.

The trick is to move the PowerToys configruation window to the display/monitor that you want to configure the zones/grid on.

Solution 2:

There is currently in Windows 10 (b1903) no native way which allows a window to snap to the upper/lower half of the screen. However, I am using an old 3rd party freeware tool since years which allows exactly this kind of snapping. It is called WinSplit Revolution, and I am using it to position two different program windows above and below one another, using the full horizontal monitor width. Different key combinations (e.g. Ctrl-Alt arrow up/down) can be assigned to define various other snapping positions. The layout of the snapping regions can be defined.

The latest freeware release of WinSplit Revolution is 11.04. It is not developed any further, and it can be found on different download sites. There exists a commercial successor of this tool (MaxTo) but I have yet made any experience with it.
