Move & Resize Windows to the left or right etc - not working

After updating to 15.0 I can no longer automatically move a window to the lefter and right side of the screen either using the green circle button or using shortcuts or click in the top menu on: Window -> Move & Resize -> none of the options there does anything.


Help - it was so nice when it worked :-)

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.0

I figured it out, at least for me.


  • Go to "Settings", "Desktop and Dock"
  • Find "Displays have separate Spaces" (on the bottom), and Enable it if it's not. It will require that you Log Out of your user and Log in again to take effect.
  • Find then, on the same place, "Tile by dragging windows to screen edges". It should be already Enabled, but if it's not, Enable it.


Fixed for me.
