Windows 10: Split screen display of documents

Sometimes I would like to have a Word document open at the same time as an Excel document or even a non-MS document. Can this be done in Windows 10?

Display screen split in to two

Hi Jerry,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that your display screen split in to two sections suddenly.
I will surely help you to fix this issue.

To understand the issue better, I would need more information from your end.

• What is the make and model of the computer?
• Did you make any recent changes on the computer prior to this issue?

This issue could have occurred due to incorrect display settings or corrupt display driver.

I suggest you to install latest display driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps. If Windows 10 display driver is not available in the manufacturer website, I would suggest you to install the driver
in compatibility mode.

To install the display driver in compatibility mode
follow these steps:

a. Download the latest display driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

b. Right-click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

c. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and
select latest Windows version from the drop down list.

e. Let the driver install and then check the functionality.

Refer to the link for additional information.

display problems, showing split screen


Since installing windows 10 on my old dell, i am having major problems. The Computer is very slow, and is probably too old to properly run the new Windows, but the biggest issue is that after a restart, i am seeing a split screen display with a line through the centre of the screen, and i can find no way to get it back to a single display. After multiple more restarts it has gone back to one screen, but i am now getting two again. In case i am not being clear, here is a photo of what i am seeing. Any help is greatly appreciated!
