If you have been using Windows 10 for a while, you might know that the operating system offers many multitasking features. For instance, you can install app switchers to switch between apps; you can add a custom sidebar to launch an app quickly, etc.

Upon all these features, the native split-screen feature seems to be the best one. Let’s admit, when we are working with our computers, we usually have multiple windows open at once. Mostly, we work on a single Window at a time, but there are times when we need to back and forth between the two windows.

To switch between two windows, you can either use the keyboard shortcuts or app switchers. However, if you are willing to work in multiple programs simultaneously, then Windows 10: Split Screen mode seems to be the right choice.
