If you are among the ones having trouble split-screen on Windows 11, you have come to the right place. In this article, I will explain how to enable and use the split screen in Windows 11 machines effectively and efficiently. So, make sure to be with us throughout the end.
The splitting screen is now an in-built feature that comes with Windows 11. Fortunately, all users can use this feature to increase their productivity through a more efficient way of multitasking. Now, there are two different ways to split-screen. We will be looking into both of them in detail.
The first way to do so is by dragging the Window you want to split, to the edge of the screen. For better understanding, you can refer to the stepwise explanation below:
The snap layout is a newer feature introduced in Windows 11 that helps you achieve split screen in a much easier way. But before you could use snap layout, you need to make sure you have the option enabled on your computer.
The steps to enable Snap Layout on Windows 11 are as follows:
Once you have enabled the Snap Window feature, it’s time to use it to make your experience more efficient. Well, using the snap layout feature is really easy as everything is present at your fingertips.
All you need to do is open an application or Windows which you want to split-screen. Now, hover over the maximize window option at the top right corner of the Window. It will display all the available split options for the Window.
Just click on any halves from one of the options and your screen will automatically adjust accordingly. If you select say the first half of the fourth option from the snap window menu, the active menu will occupy the specific space of the screen. While the next half will display all the active windows to choose from.
Likewise, you can select different applications for all halves one by one and they will be displayed accordingly on your screen.
The split-screen function comes in handy while multitasking. And as you have seen, splitting the screen son Windows 11 is no rocket science at all. I personally advise enabling the snap window feature as it gives much easier control to split screens compared to dragging the windows.
