I'm going to have to write a help page for this.
The short answer: This is now how Win10 "tiles" windows.
The long answer:
In actuality, the windows in
your screenshot that you posted are exactly adjacent and there is no gap. Well, there is no gap "programmatically" and "according to Windows" itself. But, we both SEE a gap. What gives?
In a completely retarded move, in Windows 10, the resizing borders on the left/right/bottom of each window are now INVISIBLE. These were the borders where previously you could hover your mouse over and drag to resize the window with your mouse. In Windows 10, those resizing borders STILL EXIST, but they are now INVISIBLE. You can verify they still exist by pointing your mouse to one of those 3 edges of the window. You will see that the mouse cursor doesn't change to the resizing cursor until AFTER the cursor has past the visible edge of the window. See this example:

Also compare these:
Notepad in Win7
Notepad in Win10
You can further confirm that these gaps exist even without SaT. Simply open a few windows, any windows, and then, right click an empty space on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Then click "
Show windows side-by-side". You will see that even when Windows itself tiles its windows, it also shows those gaps.
You are also 'tricked' by Windows in another way. If you click on a window, and press
ALT+PrintScreen to take a screenshot, and then Paste into MSPaint, you will see a clean window with no borders. But this is a lie. Those borders still do exist. Windows is simply excluding them from
ALT+PrintScreen. Try using SaT's menu item for
Help -> Diagnostic -> Take screenshot and then inspect the saved screenshot, and you will see borders.
Why did Windows 10 make the borders invisible? I have no idea. You can google "Windows 10 invisible borders" to see other applications facing the same issue. Even if you try to use some poker site's built-in "tile tables" feature, you will see the gaps. PokerStars has confirmed the issue on 2p2
here.
But SaT's Visualize Grid feature doesn't show the gaps! Why? Because those slots are placeholder windows that aren't resizable (if you try to resize them with your mouse, you cannot), so in that case, there truly are no borders to hide because there are no borders if a window is not resizeable. If I changed the style of those placeholder slot windows so that they ARE resizable (such as if I were to implement a way to have different sized grid slots), then in order for a window to be resizable, the placeholder slots would now have resizing borders, and you would see the same gaps. This is the inconsistency that you are seeing.
As for solutions, there are no good ones.
1. One solution is to simply change Windows so that those resizing borders are visible again. However, Windows offers no way to do this in the Control Panel. The only way is to do a minor hack to enable a hidden theme. The downside is that you lose some of the nicer visual features in Win 10. You can see this page for details:

2. Another solution is to simply create a little bit of overlap in your slots through SaT's Visualize Grid. Normally, when you release the drag of the Visualize Grid placeholder slots, SaT will 'snap' the slots to the edges of the other slots to make drag and drop easy. But if you want some minor overlap, we don't want to snap to the edge. You can override and cancel this snap by holding down the CTRL key while you RELEASE the drag.
If you do the 2nd solution above, which is creating overlaps, realize the dilemma here: Since each window/table will now be technically overlapped, you will not be able to resize them with your mouse, on whichever border that is overlapped. Now, for SaT, this won't be a problem, because while using SaT, all of your tables need to remain the same size, and SaT will resize them back if you ever mistakenly resized them anyway. But, this is why even Windows itself doesn't remove those gaps with its own built-in tiling feature as mentioned above. Because you would inherently be overlapping one of the borders on one of the windows, which not only prevents resizing but also has you mistakenly think your cursor would be over another window when in reality its still over the invisible border.

I agree its a pain in the ass. Let me know what you think
(Also, whenever changing computers or performing upgrades etc, you should always run
this test and verify that all of your sites are working properly. If you still have problems even after Removing and re-Including the sites, you may also need to do the Win10 fix that is linked. That is required in some cases, but not all.)
You will note in your screenshot that you posted, that the gaps on the left/right of the tables are larger than the gaps on the top/bottom. That is because the invisible resizing borders still exist on both the left and right sides of all windows. So you have TWO invisible borders, one belonging to each window, which create the gap. Conversely, for the top/bottom gaps, there is only one border, on the bottom of the window, that has an invisible border which contributes to the gap. The top of the window has the titlebar, and top part of the titlebar is where you resize the window, and you can verify when you move your mouse over and past the top edge.
