That doesn't look like an official update. Did you flash the leaked ROM? I haven't flashed this new ROM for just this reason. Still a bit glitchy. I'm gonna wait for the official release before I update. If you don't mind these little glitches, then I say carry on regardless. If not, do a full factory reset and do a fresh update.

I have had the same problems for a month and i just solved it.

Works with s3 and s4

Settings>>>my device>>>home and screen>>>select normal mode not easy mode restart and your multi windows will work

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks a lot for your tip. I too was struggling to bring back Multi Window on S3, which had vanished after upgrade to 4.3. It already had Standard Mode Enabled. I just enabled Easy Mode, then again Standard Mode and restarted the device. I was able to use Multi Window thereafter.

Thanks a lot..
