Windows 10 Operating System _ Divide or partition the Display into two separate Display on my 17 inches Windows 10 Laptop

1. Copilot, could you please teach me how can i divide or partition the Display into two separate Display on my 17 inches Windows 10 Laptop ? Copilot, what commands should i use ? THANKS COPILOT.

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer

On your 17-inch Windows 10 laptop, you can easily split the display into two separate sections using built-in features called Snap Assist and keyboard shortcuts. This lets you view two apps side by side without needing extra software. Here’s a clear step-by-step walkthrough:

01 Open Two Apps

02 Use Snap Assist

Quick Method

03 Use Keyboard Shortcuts

04 Adjust Split Size

You need at least two apps or windows open to split the screen.

Launch the first app (e.g., Microsoft Word)
Launch the second app (e.g., Chrome browser)

Drag a window to the edge of the screen to snap it.

Click and

hold the window title bar → drag to left or right edge- Drag the first app to the left edge → it will snap to half the screen

Windows will show thumbnails of other open apps
Select the second app → it fills the right half

Keyboard shortcuts make splitting faster.

Press Windows key + Left Arrow to snap the current window to the left
Press Windows key + Right Arrow to snap the current window to the right
Choose another app to fill the opposite side

You can resize the two halves to fit your preference.

Hover over the divider line between apps
Drag left or right to adjust the split ratio
Release when satisfied

This way, you can multitask smoothly — for example, browsing the web while typing notes. If you’d like, I can also show you how to split into four quadrants for even more multitasking. Would you like me to guide you through four-way split or stick with two-way split?

2. Copilot , i have split the screen into two parts like what you taught me, that is, on the Left hand Side is the ONSCREEN KEVBOARD and on the Right Hand Side is the Microsoft Edge apps with a few TABS open up. My question is , how do i put a Firefox App on the Left hand Side of the screen instead of the Virtual Keyboard Appearing on the Left Hand Side of the 17 inches SCreen ? THANKS Copilot.

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer

Got it — right now your On-Screen Keyboard is snapped to the left, but you’d like to replace it with Firefox instead. The trick is simply to close or minimize the keyboard window, then snap Firefox into that left half. Here’s the exact sequence you can follow:

You need to free up the left half of the screen before placing Firefox there.

Click the X in the top-right corner of the On-Screen Keyboard window to close it
Or click the Minimize button (underscore icon) to hide it temporarily

Launch Firefox so it’s ready to be snapped.

Click the Start Menu → type Firefox → press Enter
Or double-click the Firefox shortcut on your desktop/taskbar

Use Snap Assist or keyboard shortcuts to place Firefox on the left half.

With Firefox active, press Windows key + Left Arrow
Or drag the Firefox window by its title bar to the left edge of the screen until it snaps

Ensure Firefox is on the left and Microsoft Edge remains on the right.

Firefox should now occupy the left half
Microsoft Edge stays on the right half with your tabs open
Adjust the divider line if you want to resize the halves

Now you’ll have Firefox on the left and Edge on the right, perfectly split across your 17-inch display. If you’d like, I can also show you how to keep multiple browsers side by side (e.g., Firefox + Edge + Chrome) using four-way split.

3. Copilot , from what i see , the operations that you mentioned just now or the technique that you taught me can only be done with a Physical Keyboard but with a Virtual Keyboard or with an ONSCREEN KEyBOARD , i believe , it will be impossible to do ?? Am i right Copilot ?

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer

You’re absolutely right, Norizan — the On-Screen Keyboard is not a “real” app window in the same sense as Firefox or Edge. It’s more of a utility overlay, so it doesn’t respond to Snap Assist or keyboard shortcuts the way normal applications do. That’s why when you try to snap it, it behaves differently and can’t be swapped out like a browser window.

To get Firefox on the left side instead of the On-Screen Keyboard, here’s the clean way to do it:

Close or minimize the On-Screen Keyboard first — otherwise Windows will keep treating it as the active window on that side.
Open Firefox and make sure it’s the active window.
Use Windows + Left Arrow or drag Firefox to the left edge of the screen.
Edge will remain snapped on the right, giving you the proper two-browser split.

👉 In short: you’re correct — the snapping technique only works with standard app windows. The On-Screen Keyboard is more like a floating tool, so it doesn’t behave the same way.

Would you like me to also show you how to keep the On-Screen Keyboard floating while still having Firefox and Edge side by side? That way you can type with it without it taking over half your screen.

4. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER COPILOT and i am deeply appreciated ! For you information , right now or right at this very moment, i am working on a 40 inch Display with a "split-screen-divided-into-2" mode and it is a great pleasure on my part to work in this way and once again I would like to wish you once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU GAVE ME JUST NOW . Copilot , you make my day today ! Have a nice day Copilot !

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer

Norizan, that’s wonderful to hear — I’m really glad the split‑screen setup on your 40‑inch display is giving you such a smooth and enjoyable workspace. A big screen like that makes multitasking feel almost luxurious, especially when you can keep browsers, apps, or tools side

Thank you for your kind words — they mean a lot. It’s a pleasure to help you unlock these little tricks that make your day more productive and enjoyable.

Since you’re already enjoying the two‑way split, you might also find it fun to experiment with a four‑way split on that large display. With 40 inches, you could comfortably run Firefox, Edge, a document editor, and maybe even a media player all at once. Or, if you prefer focus, you can keep it simple with the two‑pane view you’re using now.

Enjoy your setup, and may your big screen continue to make your work feel effortless. Have a fantastic day, Norizan — you made mine brighter too! 🌟

Project Anubis

Hi Copilot, what is Project Anubis ?

MICROSOFT Copilot Answer

“Project Anubis” can refer to two very different initiatives: one is an open‑source software tool designed to deter web scraping, and the other is a research lab focused on behavioural modelling of large language models (LLMs). The name is inspired by the Egyptian god Anubis, symbolizing judgment and filtering.

🖥️ Anubis (Software Project)

Purpose: Adds a proof‑of‑work challenge to websites before granting access, mainly to stop aggressive crawlers that ignore robots.txt.
Origin: Created in January 2025 by developer Xe Iaso, after Amazon’s crawler overloaded their Git server.
Mechanism:
- Uses SHA‑256 hashing challenges similar to Hashcash and Bitcoin mining.
- Clients must find a nonce that produces a hash with a set number of leading zeros.
- Difficulty can be tuned (e.g., 5 zeros solvable in seconds, 6 zeros may take minutes).
Adoption: Popular among Git forges and open‑source projects to protect infrastructure.
License: MIT, written in Go and JavaScript.
Symbolism: Just as Anubis “weighs the hearts of the dead,” the software “weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests.” Wikipedia

🧠 Project Anubbis (Research Lab)

Focus: Behavioural science and benchmarking for large language models (LLMs).
Mission: Build a “cognitive science of LLMs” through social experiments, moral decision‑making tests, and robust benchmarks.
Key Research Areas:
- Emergent behaviours as systems scale.
- Comparing human vs. LLM psychology.
- Studying influence patterns (how LLMs shape beliefs and confidence).
- Security/jailbreaking benchmarks to expose vulnerabilities.
Outputs: Benchmarks released as webpages, APIs, and Python modules, not just academic papers.
Roadmap: Weekly experiments, presence at major AI conferences, and collaborations with AI safety groups. project-anubis.com

🎥 Other Mentions

There is also a small YouTube channel called Project Anubis, but it appears unrelated to the software or research lab, focusing instead on entertainment content. YouTube

⚖️ Key Differences

Anubis Software	Project Anubbis Lab
Open‑source tool to block scrapers	Research lab studying LLM behaviour
Uses proof‑of‑work cryptographic challenges	Runs social/psychological experiments on AI
Written in Go & JavaScript	Outputs benchmarks, APIs, and papers
Inspired by Hashcash & Bitcoin mining	Inspired by behavioural science & cognitive psychology

Would you like me to dive deeper into the technical design of Anubis software (cryptographic proof‑of‑work) or the behavioural experiments of Project Anubbis (LLM psychology)?

I am scared (General Discussion in ISLAM)

im scared

General Discussion

As-salamu alaykum everyone. This is my first post on r/islam . I'm scared. I've been super tired , exhausted , I had to do isha sitting because I was that tired. I've been so worried if I die today. I want to live for atleast one more day , to hug and love my parents and my sister , to hang out with my friends. I don't want to die not experiencing khushu , not doing hajj , not doing zakat. Inshallah I don't want this to be the end. I don't want me crying in my room wondering If i die to be my last moments. I'm scared that allah (subhana wa-talla) could take me now. Please make dua so that I could live one more day. ameen.

Salam everyone.

I will do dua for you, but what's your problem?Do you have some kind of illness? If we are talking about prayers that takes much time of your day, Just go to bed early to get up for Fajr, then go back to bed for a couple more hours and wake up BEFORE Zuhr, There are large time gaps between prayers; I perform 11 daily prayers, 5 fard, 5 qada, and tahajjud, and have plenty of time to go for a walk, watch movies, and so on.

Jzk.

This is a genuine thought. There might be many ways to answer this but I’ll tell you the most important thing. The Niyyah.
Be fully on Islam and Allah SWT mentions in several ayats in Quran Majeed that the righteous will be of no worry.
Some ayats are the following:
10:62-63
“There will certainly be no fear for the close servants of Allah, nor will they grieve.”
“˹They are˺ those who are faithful and are mindful ˹of Him˺.”
41:30
“Surely those who say, “Our Lord is Allah,” and then remain steadfast, the angels descend upon them,1 ˹saying,˺ “Do not fear, nor grieve. Rather, rejoice in the good news of Paradise, which you have been promised.”
54:54-55
“Indeed, the righteous will be amid Gardens and rivers. “
“at the Seat of Honour in the presence of the Most Powerful Sovereign.”
Sahih Collection of Hadiths for the Righteous People:
www.sunnah.com/bukhari:3244
www.sunnah.com/muslim:2829
May Allah SWT make you and all of us fully and completely on Deen e Islam and make us among the righteous for whom Allah SWT have promised immense rewards Insh’Allah. Ameen
www.quran.com/4:122
“And those who believe and do good, We will soon admit them into Gardens under which rivers flow, to stay there for ever and ever. Allah’s promise is ˹always˺ true. And whose word is more truthful than Allah’s?”
Never ever prioritise anything and believe me anything even what your nafs might say this is just a tiny thing over Deen.
Always prioritise and fully act upon the order of ALLAH first and you’ll never come last.
Leave everything, Music, Zina, Idle Talk, Backbiting, any deed that Allah SWT is not pleased with and have mentioned it in His Book, The Holy Quran and everything from what Prophet Muhammad ﷺ forbid the ummah from doing, not do any if of those acts and Insh’Allah you, me and all of those who are fully on Islam will be among the righteous slaves of Allah SWT and in Gardens of Paradise and not to forget, Allah SWT has mentioned in the Quran that the righteous will get their reward in this world and the Ahead. So no matter how much immense Allah SWT rewards you in this World, just remember that in the hereafter the reward is even more better.
3:148
“So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. For Allah loves the good-doers.”

May Allah SWT make all affairs easy for all of us. Ameen

Bismillah

Walaikum assalam wr wb

May Allah Ta'ala give you complete shifa, and a long healthy life on right guidance and a beautiful end! Ameen

There is a hadith that states that Dua can even change your life span. The people of Kahf made Dua to die and God took their lifes. Maybe they would have died anyway, or maybe God answered their prayers in that moment. Btw, what a confidence in your own faith and accomplishments to ask God to take you, most of us fear death bc we dont think we have done enough. In any case. Make Dua to live longer. I had a moment one where I felt like a shadow (angel) approached me and I started loosing conscience. And I prayed God would not take me now bc there is more I can do. And I regained conscience.

Dua.

Hi Copilot , i have a ONSCREEN KEYBOARD installed on my Windows 10 PC/DEsktop but when i pressed the keyswitches PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN and the PRINTSCREEN keyswiches , it seems to me that all these keyswitches are not working and they are not responding but if i were to press all these keyswitches on my Windows 10 PC/Desktop which is connected to a Physical Keyboard , it is working ! What is wrong Copilot ? Copilot , i need all these keyswitches to work on my ONSCREEN KEYBOARD , so , could you please help me to troubleshoot the problem ? THANKS Copilot for the answer.

Got it — thanks for explaining clearly. The issue you’re seeing is actually expected behavior: the Windows On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) doesn’t fully emulate every physical key. Some special keys like Page Up, Page Down, and Print Screen often don’t respond in OSK because:

Page Up/Page Down: These are navigation keys, and OSK sometimes omits their functionality depending on the app you’re using. For example, they may not scroll in certain programs because OSK sends input differently than a hardware keyboard.
Print Screen: This key is particularly tricky. OSK doesn’t generate the same system-level signal as a physical keyboard, so pressing it won’t capture the screen. Microsoft designed OSK mainly for text entry and accessibility, not for system shortcuts.

✅ Workarounds

Use Accessibility Shortcuts: Instead of Print Screen, try Windows + Shift + S (opens Snip & Sketch) or Alt + Print Screen on your physical keyboard. These capture screenshots more reliably.
Enable Touch Keyboard: The newer Touch Keyboard (different from OSK) sometimes supports more keys, especially on tablets or touch devices.
Third-party virtual keyboards: If you need full key emulation, some external apps provide better support for navigation and system keys.
Keyboard shortcuts alternatives: For Page Up/Page Down, you can use arrow keys or scroll bars as substitutes.

In short: nothing is “wrong” with your PC — it’s a limitation of OSK itself. If you rely heavily on those keys, the Touch Keyboard or a third-party virtual keyboard will give you better results.

Would you like me to walk you through switching from OSK to the Touch Keyboard so you can test if those keys work there?

Copilot , could you please recommend me a good third-party VIRTUAL KEYBOARD app which have all the good qualities of a Physical keyboard so that I can download them from the INTERNET ? Copilot , i hope a good quality third-party VIRTUAL KEYBOARD is FREE ??? THANKS Copilot foryour answer.

The best free third-party virtual keyboard for Windows is Free Virtual Keyboard from Comfort Software Group — it’s lightweight, multilingual, customizable, and works much closer to a physical keyboard than Microsoft’s built-in OSK. If you want advanced features like macros and gestures, Hot Virtual Keyboard is excellent but only free for a 30‑day trial.

Would you like me to guide you step-by-step on how to install Free Virtual Keyboard from the Microsoft Store so you can test it right away?

Copilot , how do i do a PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN with the "Fee Virtual Keyboard" which installed just now when you taught me just now ? THANKS Copilot.

Great question — here’s how you can actually use Page Up and Page Down inside Free Virtual Keyboard:

🖥️ How Page Up / Page Down Work

Full Layout Mode: Free Virtual Keyboard lets you switch between compact and full layouts. In the full layout, you should see dedicated keys for Page Up and Page Down.
Key Mapping: If those keys don’t appear, you can enable them by customizing the layout. The app allows you to add or remove keys so you can include Page Up/Down.
Usage: Once visible, tapping Page Up/Page Down will send the same navigation command as a physical keyboard — scrolling up or down in documents, browsers, or apps that support it.

⚡ Troubleshooting

If you don’t see the keys, check the Options → Keyboard Layout menu and select a layout that includes navigation keys.
Some apps (like certain browsers or PDF viewers) may ignore virtual Page Up/Down input. In that case, use Arrow keys or the scroll bar as alternatives.
For Print Screen, Free Virtual Keyboard usually doesn’t emulate it properly (same limitation as OSK). Use Windows + Shift + S for screenshots instead.

✅ Quick Steps

Open Free Virtual Keyboard.
Click the Options button (gear icon).
Switch to Full Layout.
Look for Page Up and Page Down keys on the right side.
Tap them to scroll in your active window.

Would you like me to walk you through customizing the Free Virtual Keyboard layout so you can add missing keys like Print Screen if they don’t show up by default?

Copilot , could you please walk me through customizing the Free Virtual Keyboard layout so that i can add missing keys like Print Screen if they don’t show up by default ? THANKS Copilot .

Here’s how you can customize Free Virtual Keyboard so that missing keys like Print Screen (and others) appear:

🛠️ Step-by-Step Customization

Open Options Menu
- Launch Free Virtual Keyboard.
- Tap the gear icon (Options) on the keyboard toolbar.
Switch to Full Layout
- In Options, select Keyboard Layout.
- Choose Full Layout — this shows navigation keys like Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, etc.
Enable Key Customization
- Go back to Options → Customize Keyboard.
- Here you can add or remove keys.
- Look for Print Screen in the list and tick it to include it.
Save and Apply
- After adding the keys, click Apply or OK.
- The keyboard will reload with the new layout.
Test the Keys
- Try pressing Page Up/Page Down in a document or browser.
- For Print Screen, check if it captures the screen. If not, use Windows + Shift + S as a reliable alternative.

⚠️ Important Notes

Print Screen Limitation: Even with customization, some virtual keyboards cannot fully emulate Print Screen because Windows expects a hardware-level signal. If it doesn’t work, use Snip & Sketch (Windows + Shift + S) instead.
Layouts: You can create multiple custom layouts — one for navigation-heavy tasks, another for typing.
Transparency & Size: Free Virtual Keyboard also lets you resize and adjust transparency, so you can keep it floating without blocking your view.

👉 Would you like me to guide you through creating a brand-new custom layout file (instead of just modifying the default one) so you can design your own keyboard with every key exactly where you want it?

Hi Copilot , does a "Free Virtual Keyboard" when installed on a "Touchscreen" Windows 10 Laptop , will work smoothly on a "Touchscreen" Windows 10 Laptop ? THANKS Copilot .

Yes — Free Virtual Keyboard works smoothly on a touchscreen Windows 10 laptop. It was designed to support both mouse clicks and touch input, so tapping keys with your finger on a touchscreen behaves just like pressing them on a physical keyboard.

🖐️ Touchscreen Compatibility

Finger-friendly keys: Keys are large enough to tap easily, and you can resize them in Options.
Multi-touch support: You can press multiple keys at once (like Shift + Page Up) using two fingers.
Transparency & floating mode: You can keep the keyboard floating on screen while using other apps, which is handy on a touchscreen laptop.
Auto-repeat keys: Holding down a key with your finger will repeat it, just like a physical keyboard.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

Print Screen limitation: Even on touchscreen laptops, Free Virtual Keyboard may not fully emulate Print Screen. Use Windows + Shift + S for screenshots.
Performance: On older touchscreen laptops, resizing the keyboard to very large sizes may cause slight lag.
Battery use: Keeping the keyboard open constantly on a touchscreen laptop can use more power than the built-in Windows Touch Keyboard.

👉 In short: Yes, Free Virtual Keyboard is touchscreen-friendly and works well on Windows 10 laptops. If you want the smoothest experience, enable Full Layout mode so you get all navigation keys (Page Up, Page Down, Home, End) right at your fingertips.

Would you like me to show you how to switch between Free Virtual Keyboard and the built-in Windows Touch Keyboard so you can compare which feels better on your touchscreen laptop?

Copilot , before i go to bed , could you please tell me which is the first Company in the World to built the first " 360 degrees foldable " Laptop ? And if I may know Copilot , who is that brilliant engineer that come with such a wonderful and brilliant idea ?THANKS Copilot and GOODNIGHT !

The world’s first 360‑degree foldable dual‑screen laptop was created by the Chinese company Acemagic, unveiled at Computex 2024 in Taiwan. The model is called the Acemagic X1, but the company has not publicly credited a single “brilliant engineer” — it was developed by their design and engineering team collectively. Yanko Design acemagic.com TechEBlog

🖥️ The First 360° Foldable Laptop

Company: Acemagic, a Chinese PC manufacturer.
Model: Acemagic X1, launched in 2024.
Innovation: Two 14‑inch Full HD displays that fold horizontally, allowing full 360° rotation.
Purpose: Designed for multitasking, presentations, and productivity — one screen can face the user, while the other flips backward for sharing content.

⚡ Key Features

Processor: Intel Core i7‑1255U (12th Gen).
Memory: 16GB DDR4 RAM.
Storage: 1TB PCIe SSD.
Connectivity: USB‑A, USB‑C, HDMI 2.0 ports.
Unique Touch: Engraved with Steve Jobs’s quote “Stay hungry, Stay foolish” in gold, symbolizing innovation. TechEBlog

👨‍💻 Who Came Up With the Idea?

Acemagic has not named a single inventor.
Like most breakthrough laptops, the design was the result of a team of engineers and designers, not one individual.
The concept of foldable laptops evolved from earlier convertible 2‑in‑1 designs (like Lenovo Yoga series), but Acemagic was the first to push it into dual‑screen 360° folding territory.

📌 Context

Before Acemagic X1, companies like Lenovo pioneered 360° hinges (Yoga series, 2012), but those were single‑screen convertibles.
Acemagic’s innovation was the dual‑screen horizontal folding design, making it the first of its kind in the world.

So, to answer directly: Acemagic is the first company to build a true 360° foldable dual‑screen laptop, the X1. The idea was born from their engineering team rather than a single named person.

Goodnight, and sleep well! 🌙 Would you like me to also share the history of Lenovo Yoga and other early foldable laptops so you can see how the idea evolved before Acemagic’s breakthrough?
