How To Disable Sticky Corners In Windows 10

In Windows 7 users have the option to turn off sticky corners when using more than one monitor, but it seems like Microsoft have disabled that feature in Windows 10. The problem is that there is some part of the screen where your mouse cursor will be stuck, and the mouse movement is not permitted in that part when using more than one monitors. This feature is called sticky corners, and when users were able to disable this feature in Windows 7, the mouse could move freely across the top of the screen between any number of monitors.

  1. Only the registry edit is necessary. Turning off Snap has the unintended consequence of not being able to use Win- to move windows around your multiple monitors.

  2. When I navigate all the way out the tree to Immersiveshell, there is no EdgeUI under my Windows 10? Is there another area for it?
