How to stack windows side by side in Windows 10?
« on: February 07, 2019, 09:42 AM »
Hi, can someone recommend some relatively light-weight software (e.g. not something like this crappy display fusion) that will stack side by side windows for me? sounds easy right? well I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this on windows 10 on a virtual desktop without it stacking windows also on other virtual desktops, which makes it completely useless to me.. since now instead of 3 windows filling up the screen i have 3 tiny windows on 2 desktops.

WinWarden (from skrommel & Tim Morck) works well on Win 10, but I have never tested it on plural windows screens.

thanks for the suggestions guys but I was hoping for something really easy... for now I'm using WinSplit Revolution which is my go-to on my main computer.. but the more windows, the longer it takes - have to manually place them one by one, it is quick but annoying for what I need it for on my VPS... Tiling handles it all in one fell-swoop, theoretically, if it didn't have this windows 10 bug.

Drag the windows into the corners/edges of the screen and Windows 10 will snap them into halves or quadrants of the screen for you.

And use the <Win>-(cursor-keys) hotkeys to move and resize the current window...
