The Snap feature of Windows 10 and Windows 11 makes it easy to organize apps and windows by quickly resizing them to occupy half of the screen. This is handy, but also somewhat limited. The FancyZones module of PowerToys is a much more advanced window manager that provides many more options.

Spend a little time configuring window zones on your desktop and you can then drop any open app or windows into one of them for instant resizing.
