Great it worked. Much easier than I thought it would be. How do I do this with two monitors? I want a split screen on one of them, but the other window just goes to the other screen. I know I can play around with it to make it fit the remainder of the screen but is there a trick to do this in one quick motion?
Takes time to do it manually every time.. You can drag one window to the edge of a single screen and it should fill up just half of the screen. Thank you for sharing this!
This was the third website trying to explain how to use split sceen properly, but by following these instructions I was able to create and actually use this feature! Thank you so much! I think you ought to be able maximize any window you want to be full screen and that should do it. Others in the comments have suggested other methods.
Maybe one of those would work better for you. Make sure to hold onto that window until you hit the edge. If you figure it out, please share! Nice, Pete! If you are using a Logitech mouse and you have a right thumb button. You might need to disable it because it can switch applications by default. I had know idea I was squeezing the mouse that hard while playing a game and it was minimizing screens.
AKA aero snap. I have been seeing this all over the Internet, and this method does not work for Windows 7 — it does not automatically resize anything no matter how many times you try. Please edit this post to omit that Windows 7 has this feature, since it does not. Thank you…. When I first posted this I was using Windows 7 and it did work. I would be surprised that it no longer works owing to the parallels between Windows 7, 8 and Maybe there was something else going on?
Cliff is right with the clue about it working in Win 7, because i had to try it again now to confirm if it still works as before and i can give you a Yes as an answer.. I have dual monitors and would like to do this on the left monitor only I usually have my outlook open on the right and 2 excel spreadsheets open on the left that I need to view at the same time.
Hi, there, Adam. The trick, I think, is to not be too fast about the dragging of the window. Hope that helps! Hi, Amy. In the upper right corner of the window, you should see a rectangle icon. Clicking on that should take the window to full screen. Bless you. That actually worked. The other instructions for some reason did not. You are a life saver. Thank you! The keyboard shortcut did the trick. I have done this, but they overlap not the same size. Any suggestions.
You may need to manually adjust the size of the windows. Perhaps you could draft one to the left and size the other two to fit on the right side of the screen. Good luck! After this you just have to open another program and maximize that or again press arrow and left arrow key. This is the best solution. Thanks dear… Its just one of the easiest trick a person can learn.
When I drag the screen to one side with my mouse, it is NOT automatically resizing the page. Please help! Hi, Lanette. I do not understand how to make this change work on my new Dell PC. What do they mean by Clouds? What is One Note? I promise you, when a mother calls because her baby is drowning in the pool, the quickest and most efficient means of calming her down if possible is aside from having paramedics and fire dept. In this job, staying ahead, keeps us MUCH more calm with our screaming callers.
I know it can be done. Thank You, Stan M [email protected]. Thank you!! I just dragged the open program way to the right side of the screen, it popped in place, and then it pulled up options for the other side of the screen from my other open programs!
I just upgraded to Windows 10, in case that helps anyone. Glad you liked, Pandit. I watched the video and think I did exactly what you said. I must have missed something. I have several different programs, a webinar and the sight its discussing.
I can click and drag one, but when I do the other it still hides behind the one even though I drug it to the other side. What I might suggest you do first is minimize all windows. Then open one that you want to take up half the screen and drag it to one side.
Then open the other window and drag it to the other. Not just the browser. Sounds like this is not exactly what you were looking for. You can open any type of openable window in either half. Nothing preventing you from, say, having a browser in one half and a word processing document in the other. I already knew this information… However — my monitor is large enough that I could technically have 4 monitors worth of readable content displayed.
Thanks for the comment, Rick. If you find a different solution, please let us know. It is simply half-maximizing. You can also double click in the middle of any top-edge and maximize the height. I have seen different software solutions advertised to create a virtual monitor or multiple virtual desktops, but I have not deployed them.
Two windows open at a time has sufficed for me. If you find it, please let us know. Drag your window whichever one to the left or right and it should appear on the external monitor, leaving your laptop desktop space free to do whatever you wish. You will need to move the cursor left or right to move from one screen to the other. For example I have my laptop connected to my TV and I am watching a downloaded tutorial on a media player on the TV connected to laptop , and am able to use an application on the laptop screen whilst looking at the tutorial without having the windows tutorial and application screens overlapping each other.
Awesome solution, Ganesh. There is something to be said for manually controlling individual windows by dragging them to the left or right. This is not splitting monitor into two, but rearranging windows. Any idea? This solution splits the screen into two. You end up with two windows, each showing in exactly half the screen, regardless of what your overall screen or monitor size is.
Many websites now respond to screen size, so will give you a different look if your screen size or window size is not full size. Send them a note and see what they say.
