Split screen on Windows 11 is a function that allows a user to Snap Layouts, which is a tool that is used for the user to visualize and manage several windows at the same time. This works via the so-called multitasking feature which can divide your applications on your computer whereby the usage of them is the most effective. In this way, we are going to show you how to Split the screen on Windows 11.

What is Snap Layout?

Snap Layout is a Windows 11 feature that allows you to split your screen into two, and you can work on two applications at the same time. It has many preset screens which are perfect for separating the applications according to your work needs. E.g. it might be interesting to split the screen evenly or adding different windows to them.

Available Layouts

  • 50%-50%: Equal window split between two windows.
  • 75%-25%: It gives more space in one window than in the other as the case may be.
  • 50%-25%-25%: In this configuration, three windows are half-size, one from the top, center, and bottom.
  • 25%-50%-25%: The central one is twice the size of the others, just as with the other pattern.
  • 33%-33%-33%: Three windows are divided equally and the remaining two windows are divided acordingly.
  • 25%-25%-25%-25%: Divide the screen into four equal windows.

Customizing and Resizing Windows After Snapping

After your windows are snapped, you can resize them based on your wish. For this:

  • Bring your mouse over the line between two windows.
  • An adaptable will turnout, which lets you make the windows smaller or larger by scrolling it leftright.

This capability rather narrows the long triangle between your layout and maximum productivity.

Common Issues and Fixes

Misaligned Windows

When you move a window on your screen it can sometimes happen that it does not fit the other windows as you want. In this case, the Snap Layout option from the maximize button is better for accuracy.

Non-Snap-Compatible Apps

Some apps that were designed before the concept of snap layout are not compatible with Snap Layout. You can move and resize the windows by hand to fit them in any configuration you like, but they will not snap to the selected size automatically.

By using these methods, you can efficiently occupy several windows at the same time with Windows 11. Besides helping you with the multitasking, Snap Layouts saves time and keeps all your windows in a systematic form
