WinSplit Revolution is a very small utility that helps to organize all your open windows by tilting, resizing and positioning them so that they efficiently use all the space on your desktop. There are also two freeware apps you can use to divide or split your screen into multiple parts and therefore work more efficiently. Earlier I had written about a program called SplitView, which lets you split your screen, but it costs $39! Why pay when you can get something better for free? With Windows 10’s new snap options and virtual desktop manager, most people won’t ever need to bother downloading a third-party app to manage their windows. It’s worth noting that the preview build of Windows 10 also supported vertical snapping, meaning the app would end halfway down the screen and go across horizontally, but that seems to have been removed in the final build. In Windows 10, all apps act like desktop apps, so they can be snapped anywhere too.Īs you can see above, I have two apps snapped on the right side and one app on the left side. You can fill each corner with a desktop app or universal Windows app. If you take a window and drag it to any corner of the screen, the window will fill up that particular corner or 1/4 of the screen. In Windows 7 & 8, you had to manually snap the second window into place too.Īnother new option is the 2×2 grid. The same is true for Windows 10, but now there is a new Snap Assist feature that also shows you the extra windows on the opposite side as thumbnails and lets you click on them to fill the other side of the screen. As you already know, you can simply drag a window to the far left or far right of the screen and Windows will automatically resize that window to fill half the screen. Windows 10 New Snap Featuresįirst, let’s talk about Windows 10 because it has some really nice new features for working with multiple windows on the same desktop. If you’re not already familiar, read my previous post on how to use the Snap feature in Windows 7 and Windows 8. In this article, I’m going to write about the new features in Windows 10 and also about a couple of freeware programs that also let you split your screen in different ways.
The latest operating system from Microsoft, Windows 10, not only has built-in support for multiple desktops, but it also has added a couple of nice features to the Snap feature that was included starting in Windows 7.
