    How to swap between both halves of a split-screen?


    I know how to enter split-screen mode. But once there I find it would be useful to have a hotkey to switch instantly back and forth between both halves. I looked and found a suggestion of " 'alt' + 'left- or right- arrow' ". However when I tried this it only seemed to activate an action within the application is was using, rather than acting outside of the application to switch split-screens; the application I was using was Visual Studio and by pressing that hotkey described above I only succeeded in highlighting something within the application which thing was the zoom percentage icon, or

    Split screen

    When I go to a split screen view in Windows 10, one of the screens will stop working and/or not respond. For example, if I have a video playing and split screens, the video will stop running but the sound will continue. Another example is that I will
    try to use a newly opened screen in split view and the page will not respond. Any suggestions or help?

    How to swap between both halves of a split-screen?

    Split screen for windows 8.1: I need help to eliminate this split screen that appears on my laptop computer.

    Click and hold on the divider line between the two halves, then drag it to the left or right side to get rid of the split.
