Windows side by side dont fit correctly

[HannibalUK]

Hi when i select to open windows to show side by side they only open to the left of the screen not filling the screen, they have only opened a few time to the correct size filling the screen a few times and dont know what is going on here.

Hi yes that works perfectly but i was just wondering why the click on the task bar to get the windows side by side dont work as i would like or as it should, thinking maybe it has something to do with the resolution or the fact my screen is 22 inch wide.

Thanks anyway.

I just did the same on my 24 inch wide screen.
I opened two different graphics programs and went to task bar and scrolled "windows side by side" and they opened evenly. My resolution is 1920 x 1080. What resolution do you have yours set at?

edit on resolution....1920 x 1200

I am set on 1600X1200 it is the only one that looks ok, well suits me anyway.

just dont know what it could be then, it does open side by side on a 2 out of 5 its strange.

I don't seem to have that problem and I use it quite often when I watch a YOU TUBE tutorial on one side and work on graphics on the other side without any glitches.
I will have a friend chime in and see if he can help...

What happens if you enlarge them both, so they fit side by side and then lock taskbar?

That dont work either, they will snap into the side by side position tried lock the task bar and unlock the TB but they just open small again
