🖥️ Learn to Split Your Screen in Windows 11
Discover how to double your productivity with the new features of Windows 11! Working from home? Managing multiple projects? This guide will help you organize your workspace like a pro!
🎯 What are "Snap Layouts"?
The snap layouts is a great new feature in Windows 11 that lets you "stick" your app windows to predefined locations on the screen. Think of it as having a smart assistant that automatically organizes your desk!
Instead of constantly switching from one application to another, you can view and work in several at the same time - like having your email open next to Word!
🚀 How to Get Started
1Check if it is Enabled
First, let's make sure the feature is turned on:
- Right-click on an empty area of your desktop.
- Select "Settings" from the menu that appears.
- Go to the "System" section and then to "Multitasking"
- Make sure the "Snap windows" option is enabled (in blue)
2Use Snap Layouts
Now comes the fun part! Follow these simple steps:
- Open the application you want to place (e.g. Word, Chrome, Calculator)
- Hover your mouse over the "maximize" button (the square in the upper right corner)
- You will see a small menu appear with different layout options.
- Choose the layout you like (half screen, three-quarters, etc.)
- The application will automatically "stick" to the position you chose!
3Adjust the Size
After you split the screen, you can do some "fine-tuning":
- Move the mouse to the line that separates the windows.
- When the cursor becomes a double arrow, click and drag
- Can you make one window bigger than the other?
🏆 Advanced Tips
For "power users" - use these shortcuts:
- Win + ← ή → : Move window left or right
- Win + ↑ ή ↓ : Maximize or minimize
If you have two monitors, you can apply different layouts to each screen. This will give you even more space for your work!
Windows 11 remembers your layouts! When you open an app that you had in a group, it will suggest opening the others as well. Super useful for project-based work!
🎭 Practical Examples of Use
- Open Word on one side and the browser with your research on the other
- Email on one side, Excel or PowerPoint on the other
- Streaming software in one corner and chat or Discord in another
- YouTube in a corner while you do other things
