Visual Studio - How to open a second window with a designer?

I need quite simple help with Visual Studio in which I build my application based on WPF. By accident, I closed the top window in which the designer was. Currently, in both windows there is a code, and not as before in a single visual project.I spent over 30 minutes searching for a solution on Google, but I can not find anything. As it is now: Visual Studio Two Same Windows

What is expected:

Expected Result

Thanks!

Based on some clarification in the comments of what you were looking for, once you're in the design view and you've closed the Design/XAML Split, you can reset the window by clicking one of the split/open icons in the bottom right hand corner of the window.

With the method you put into your answer, I believe that won't give you the other Designer options (like snapping controls to a grid, disabling/enabling rendering effects/etc) on the window.

Just found a solution:

1. Select the tab you want two copies of
2. Select menu Window → New Window from the menu.
3. Right click the new tab and select New Vertical Tab Group

Open two instances of a file in a single Visual Studio session
