How do I prevent automatic window resizing in Windows 10 (windows become suddenly bigger/smaller when you just want to move them)?

How do I prevent automatic window resizing?


In Windows 7, I knew how to turn off the annoying (to me) feature that windows were automatically maximized when moved to the edge of the screen. This option no longer seems to be present in the 'ease of access' settings. Any idea if it can still be disabled?
I also agree this is a pretty weird "feature", and I always end up turning it off.  Turn it *off* here, in "Settings" ("Gear" symbol above windows menu in lower-left hand corner):
    A) Click/tap on Multitasking on the left side. Under Snap on the right side, move the Arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen slider to the right to turn it on. (see screenshot below)

    B) If you like, you can also turn on or off When I snap more than one window, automatically adjust the size of the windows (Snap Fill) and When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it (Snap Assist)
