I honestly don't know what stage manager or mission control are, or how to use them.

A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

if you still have an issue— go back to terra firma and turn off all these extras...and compare you results:

ref: your mission Control

View open windows and spaces in Mission Control on Mac

ref: your Stage Manager

Organize your Mac desktop with Stage Manager

You're welcome. Sorry your having an issue but none of my Macs tile without Tiling enabled. So it's apparently an issue local to your Mac.

If you tried Leroy's suggestion to boot into Safe Mode and restarting didn't fix it, then install EtreCheck and post the report. Allow Full Disk Access.

Use the Additional Text icon to paste in the report.

It may show what the issue is with your Mac.

You could try alternative Tiling apps such as Rectangle or Moom to see if one suits your need.

In addition to disabling Tiling, what are your Stage Manager, Windows and Mission Control settings..?

Good evening, folks. I HATE the margin tiling, I don't know what the developers were thinking but it's absolutely awful.

I have turned off all the options for tiling that I want off. But windows continue to expand to full size when I move them, and the margins at the top of the screen will not go away. There is a permanant margin of 5MM at the top, and 5MM on that side, no matter where I put the windows.

My macbook air is 15inches, but it's still small enogh that that I want that 1CM back.

Can someone please help? I HATE tiling so so much. Help would be appreciated because this is just a dumb feature and turning it off has not done a thing.

Thank you!

Original Title: window margin tiling is the worst. Can't get rid of margins

You may what to review all the information in the below link regarding Tiling Windows in macOS

Tile windows on Mac

As this is a feature, built into the operating system

Should this not be to one's likings.

Or they are of the belief something should be changed / removed

By all means, use the  Product Feedback - and make it known to Apple regarding this ongoing issue

Though, at this late stage in the development of macOS 15 Sequoia

It is doubtful Apple will make serious changes to this version of macOS

Probably, most of Apple Resourses have been shifted to ironing out the last bugs / fixes to the yet to be creased macOS 26 Tahoe

OS - macOS Tahoe 26

old issue, new issue, what changed?

Verify your software is up to date…

The current stable release of Sequoia  including bug fixes,  security updates  is macOS 15.6.1

Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support

Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support

is this about the menu bar showing/ not showing...(?) Make some changes:

That's your prerogative. I don't use tiling so I don't know if Apple broke something or not.

Officially, " Windows Tiling " was first Introduced as of part of the operating system

As such, "  fully disable window tiling  " your request can not be done

As for the second part of your question " window tiling margins on macOS?"

That too has been addressed earlier

The implications, from my earlier posting, was directly related to the "  fully disable window tiling margins " & " I want that 1CM back. " aspect in the question
