Windows 10: selecting "side-by-side" from taskbar is not working properly - Today is 11-Nov-2020

I am an IT professional and I've been struggling with this issue since the release of Windows 10. Windows 7, as my example, had the ability to open 4 separate applications, then right click on an open area of the Task bar and select Show windows side-by-side. When this was done, the 4 windows would snap to the 4 corners of the display with each taking up 25% of the screen. IT WAS FANTASTIC.

Unfortunately, now in Windows 10, the above will snap the 4 screens into positions that are definitely NOT taking up the entire screen. The same top and bottom stacking and also the edges are aligned, however, only about 66% of the screen is being used from left-to-right.

Someone, please help!! My sanity depends on finding an answer.

Taskbar not working properly on Windows 10

Hi EdJane,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to Toolbar on Windows not working properly, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue by performing certain troubleshooting steps.



For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Are you aware of any changes made to the PC prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?
   
3. When you say, “Toolbar”, are you referring to the taskbar on Windows 10?
   

Refer the article Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Assuming that you are referring to Taskbar on Windows 10, I would suggest you to try creating a new user account, as you have already tried using the PowerShell commands. Refer the article

Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10 and see if the Taskbar is working fine.



Let us know how it goes.
