While this can be a useful feature for some, some people find this annoying and distracting. 

Luckily, it is very simple to disable this feature:

  • Go to Windows Settings > System > Multi-tasking
    Windows Settings > System > Multi-tasking
  • Expand Snap windows section and disable “Show snap layouts when I drag a window to the top of my screen
    Show snap layouts when I drag a window to the top of my screen

If you leave the option “Show snap layouts when I hover over a window’s maximise button” checked, you can still view the snap layout guide when you hover your mouse over a window maximise button
