Does this issue pertain to the Operating System High Sierra macOS 10.13 ( where this posing is appearing ) ?


Or does it relate to User Profile showing MacBook Air 11″, macOS 12.3 Monterey


Either way - from the provided description ( splits the screen diagonally and does this dual viewing thing " this is not normal


1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


6 - If after performing each of the above steps is the order that have been presents  and still have issues - please advise for possible further assistance.
