Is there a C#/C++ way to programmatically modify Windows 10 Multitasking Settings (aka Aero Snap)?

I understand that on Windows 10, the Aero Snap feature that was introduces on previous Windows operating systems has morphed into "Multitasking Settings" that you can access via the OS's Settings window (see image):

I also understand that the toggle button titled "Arrange windows automatically by dragging them to the sides or corners of the screen" can be controlled via the Windows Registry here:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

WindowArrangementActive: 0 or 1

However, changing the registry does not take immediate effect, and I am unable to find a programmatic solution to turning off the snap feature without rebooting the system.

My question is: Can the snap feature be toggled on/off programmatically with C#/C++ without restarting the system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
