A windows manager, like Actual Desktop Divider, does the trick. I use this for quickly setting different layouts on a 4K screen depending on activity. The example shown on that page is tame, just splitting the screen into four. One of my layouts is shown below - there two Word documents and a PDF viewer side-by-side, plus Word search windows and some other stuff below.

In operation, you drag a window and press CTRL (it's configurable) whereupon the layout is displayed and you drop the window into whichever divider you want. Easy to undo as well (which was a nice surprise). Change layouts at the click of a context menu.

If you are tempted by that I'd suggest not getting the individual parts and just go for the full-fat Actual Window Manager which contains the divider and a whole lot more for much less than the indiviual components. I don't get a kickback or anything on this! Just one of those utils that gets installed on a new PC as a matter of course.

If your display (physical or remote desktop) has a wide aspect ratio, Windows 11 22h2 will do that for you.
When you start dragging a window, a translucent bar appears at the top, drag the window over it and a choice of arrangement will pop up, complete by dragging on the one you prefer.

Yep, cant stress enough how awesome it is to have an ultrawide like the 49" Samsung neo G9 (5120x1440)
It's pretty much intended for gaming but damn is it awesome for working.
3 apps open side by side ftw.

(If you're thinking you'd need to buy a new GFX to drive it, na you prob don't. If you can drive two 2560x1440 displays then you can drive it. It can pretend to be 2 monitors to the OS. You only need a new GFX if you want to drive it at high frame rates like 120 up to 240hz)

My only problem with these screens is that they are 2x more expensive than the equivalent 27" monitor setup. But for work, if budget is no issue (and wouldn't have a setup already) this is what I would use.
For home/gaming I think I even going to go the other direction. I've been using a 35" Ultrawide for 8 years now, it's great, but I would like to have an IPS panel instead of the MVA. Or even an OLED. And more pixels. I don't know why getting 3840x1600 would be that difficult, but apparently it is. So I'm seriously considering buying a 40" 4K screen and using it in widescreen mode most of the time. Crazy me, I know.

Like that page with the under-the-frames pictures? No thanks! Images should be relevant to the page, not there to fill white space that's too blank.
