Thanks for giving me a name for this that I can search for to turn it off. There’s nothing more annoying in my day than when I drag a window from one monitor to the other, then the windows cuts it in half and sticks it to the side of my screen.
I never knew what windows called it before, so there was no way to get rid of it in settings.

The settings pages aren't that big. You could read through it all in 5 minutes. Did you look? I mean sometimes things are annoying and you just can't be bothered to dig around to find the thing that turns it off, but at least in this case, it's easy:
Out of curiosity, I just opened Windows 10 Settings. I see sixteen top level options. I opened the first one and it had 16 submenus, the first of which is two pages tall and has 8 additional settings links from it. Of course, Control Panel is also a place it could be hiding, and it's even bigger.
So, no. One does not simply click on every single thing in settings hoping to find the annoying thing that Windows is doing today that you don't have a name for.
Typing "Snap Window" into search narrows it down to three, which makes it possible to accomplish.
No problem, I did it by accident, and you can also drag the windows to the corners and overshoot to have them, top is full, left and right is half that side, the link you posted mentions that, I am actually surprised you never accidentally discovered either. I have that in KDE as well.
Also, double-clicking on a top or a bottom edge will v-maximize window, or resizing a window vertically and overshooting at the top or at the bottom of the screen.
For anyone curious, MS has a useful summary of how this works here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/snap-your-window...
