Cannot turn off Mission Control

I have gone into my system settings desktop/dock / Mission Control and turned off all the settings and turned off all hot corner. I have an M1 MacBook Pro running sonoma 14.7.4. I have a 30" monitor connected to my laptop with the 30 inch display set as an extended display. Every time i drag an open window about halfway off the right side of my 30" display, it pushes it to a new space, and it drives me crazy because i do not want it in its own space, and i do not know how to get it out of the new space and back to its original space. The only solution i have seen is to turn off mission control using terminal, and I do not want to mess with anything in terminal because with my luck it will brick the machine. The only way i seem to be able to get the window that has moved to a new space back to the original space is to quit the app that is running the window, restarting it in the oringinal space, OR i have to total restart my machine.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.6

Turning off Mission Control is not the answer - and I don't think you could, anyway. Besides, if you were to turn off Mission Control, you would probablt no longer be able to access these other Spaces.


It seems that what you really need is to go to System Settings->Desktop & Dock, and turn off these settings:
