Disabling Edge Split Screen

Overview

LanSchool Air is unable to limit the web in Microsoft Edge when the student uses the Edge Split Screen feature. The LanSchool Air extension does not register the second screen and will not block the website. It is recommended to disable Edge Split Screen in order for the LanSchool Air web limiting to function properly.
