Windows 11 has a stack of efficiency features built in and Multi-tasking is one of them. I do find that problematic on a small laptop, but if you have the ability to plug in an external screen, then you can have four quite workable spaces in front of you at any time. This will make your workspace 25% smaller, but you will be able to see all four windows at the same time. It is also possible to have four split-screens by holding down the Windows key and clicking the up key once you have split the screen. Option 2: If you have a touch screen device, you can drag a window to the side, and it will dock there like a split-screen. You do need to click on each window to make them active, but you can now see more information on your screen. You just choose the one you want and it becomes the other half of the split-screen. Click on the external monitor 2 to highlight. Select the monitor icon One (or select from the Display drop down list) Make sure the Use this device as the primary monitor check box is selected Select the monitor icon Two (or select from the Display drop down list) Make sure the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box settings is selected. Your primary monitor is labeled 1 and the Secondary or external monitor is 2. Two square boxes representing your monitors are shown. Right click on your desktop and select properties. All other windows will appear on the other side of the screen. Connect the external monitor to the second VGA port. This will move your active window to one side. Option 1: You can either hold the Windows key down and tap the right or left arrow key. First, you will need to have a few windows open on a single desktop.
