visual studio built in compare overlaying

I am unable to compare files side by side, rather visual studio is just overlaying them onto the same document with green / red highlighting:

enter image description here

How do I restore the default code comparison settings so that I can see the two versions of the same file side by side rather than on top of each other?

This functionality broke when I uninstalled CodeCompare.

In your toolbar, there may be a Compare Files section that looks like this:Compare Files toolbar.

Click the left most icon, and change from Inline mode to Side-by-side mode.

Note: my hotkeys may be different from yours, since I have additional extensions installed.
