"VIEW SIDE BY SIDE" NOT FUNCTIONING WITH WINDOWS 10

Question

Hi,

I just started using Excel 2016 in a Windows 10 environment.

Never had an issue before on my Mac displaying two or more worksheets side by side.

However, on my new PC  operating on Win 10, the two worksheets can never be arranged side by side nor displayed together.

The only function in the "VIEWING" group that works is the "Switch Windows" button.

Anyone knows what I could do to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Okay Cecilia, hopefully this will be resolved in a future update . . .

Answer 2

Thank you again! Will try the dragging and aligning.

Answer 3

Hi Cecilia,

You are up to date with your version of Windows, I have researched this, and there does not seem to be a consistent fix anywhere, this has been an intermittent problem since 2016.

Some users say updating their Display driver resolves this issue, but I am doubtful and sinve your system is new, this would not work for you as you would have the latest driver installed

For the moment, I would suggest you just use Snap until Microsoft resolve this . ..

Click the top bar on either window and drag to the middle of the left edge of your screen, then release the mouse and then just click on the other window

That will show your windows side by side, I know it is a different way to do this, but at least it will work

Thank you DaveM121!

Followed your instruction and it shows Version 1803 (OS BUILD 17134.167).

Just bought this new PC last week, not really sure if this is the latest version.

What can I do next?

Answer 5

Hi Cecilia, this was a known issue with an earlier version of Windows 10 . . .

Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter

On the resulting dialog, what version of Windows 10 are you running?
