If I toggle off "Snap windows" because I want to disable the window snapping that occurs when dragging windows between monitors, it also disables the Win+Right and Win+Left shortcuts for snapping to the right and left of the screen.

I even tried going to "Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Ease of Access Center > Make the mouse easier to use" and checked "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen" in hopes that it would only disable mouse snapping but that seemed to do the same thing as toggling off "Snap windows" because the keyboard hotkeys don't work when that checked either.

Is there a way in Windows 10 to disable snapping when moving between monitors but keep the shortcuts?

I found the solution! It can be fixed with the following command line...

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Mouse" /v DockTargetMouseWidth /t REG_DWORD /d 0

Run that from a command prompt and reboot. You won't have the problem any more.

It creates HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse ! DockTargetMouseWidth and sets the value to 0.

I think your question was already answered by this superuser question. What you need to do is to open Regedit, navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" and either modify or create (if there is none) the DockMoving string value to 0. After that sign out of windows than sign in again.
