    I just purchased the XPS 15 9550 i7 16/512 laptop and have one issue that's driving me crazy. Not sure if this specific to Dell computers or it's just a Windows 10 "feature", but I can't disable it in any way.

    Whenever I move the windows, there is this floating thumbnail-like thing on the desktop that allows me to position the window to a specific area of the screen. It's driving me crazy, it's in a way and more often than not 'steals' my window and puts it where I don't want it.

    I tried to disable it through Settings / Display / Multitasking / Snap, and although I'm able to disable Snap, the damn thing is still there.

    Any idea how can I get rid of this nuisance?

    Right click on Dell Premier Colour & disable display splitter.
