Default Most annoying post-Gates/Ballmer screwup: Can't arrange windows

That after a clean install of Windows 10 (nearly 1809).

It is slightly better than my installation, but still garbage.

Putting three windows "side by side" according to the current
geniuses at Microsoft means putting one window covering the upper
half of the left half of the screen, and the other two windows
covering about two thirds of the right half and stacked one on top
of the other.

Can they be that idiotic? Or are they just trying to cover for their
ineptness?

It's like we live in the age of idiotic, or perhaps drug crazed,
programmers. Google loves screwing with YouTube, about every
other day you can notice them messing with it. I would like to
scramble their programming tools and see how they like it.

No longer being able to arrange windows on the desktop royally
sucks.

After a restart... The desktop is empty. Open Chrome. Open another
Chrome window. Right-click on the Taskbar and select "Show windows
side- by-side". The damn thing puts the two Chrome windows one on
top of the other on the left half of the screen.

Freaking idiots.

After they screwed up window arrangement on the desktop, they
haven't bothered fixing it, because it doesn't further their goal
of turning the desktop into a smartphone. In other words, their
average idiot peer user does not need to arrange windows on their
microscopic smartphone screen, so the current managers of Windows
couldn't care less that arranging windows is dysfunctional.


There are several software solutions to your problem, see eg
