    Use Windows Key + right arrow key and Windows Key + left arrow key for side by side viewing.

    In the Task Bar, in an empty space, right click and select 'show windows side by side'

    It does that on mine too. It is already reported as a bug in the Windows Feedback app, so open the app, enter "Windows side-by-side" to bring up the feedback and upvote the feedback already there. However, using Windows Key+-> and <- does work for me.

    I'm having the exact same problem: RIGHT CLICK in the TASKBASK BAR > SELECT "SHOW WINDOWS SIDE BY SIDE > . . . and, voila, Win 10 stacks the windows, rather than placing them side-by-side.

    I tried: WINDOWS KEY > R / L KEY . . . but, that does nothing. Now, the DOWN arrow will make the top stacked window disappear, while the UP arrow will make it re-appear.

    So, I came here looking for a solution. And, what do I find: A Windows 10 expert resorting to the shop-worn "Well, it's a glitch, I guess" reply. Except, that . . . it's NOT a glitch. It's something that has worked before in: XP, Vista, Win7, and Win8. Now, we have Win 10 and what's worked before in previous OS's has now been "glitched."

    It is your computer, as it works here. run sfc /scannow from the command prompt and if file integrity is corrupt/compromised run the dism commands.

    I don't feel it is his computer.... I have a partial solution...I had to turn on the action of moving a window right or left to open it in that location...once turned on ( forget where) the show windows side by side and the win key plus arrow partially worked...they now open the windows side by side but overlapping unlike in win 7

    I have two windows 10 computers, same version, same build. It works correctly on one and not the other. I still haven't found out why. Ironically, it doesn't work on the machine where I need it the most. I'm posting this because some people think this feature has been disabled by MS. Not so.
