VBA Open Second workbook window, maintain formatting, fix the freeze pane section

[willastrowalker]

I've got some code that is intended to open up a second window (you know when you have the same workbook open on two separate screens? Super helpful...
But, whenever it opens, in its attempt to maintain the freeze pane structure, it adds in some actual split panes.. just want to keep the freeze pains and not add in the splits.. didn't see anyting like the .splitpane command for freeze panes.. any ideas?

Sub New_Window_Preserve_Settings()
'Create a new window and apply the grid line settings
'for each sheet.

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Dim iWinCnt As Long
Dim bGrid As Boolean
Dim bPanes As Boolean
Dim bHeadings As Boolean
Dim iSplitRow As Long
Dim iSplitCol As Long
Dim iActive As Long
Dim iZoom As Long
Dim sSep As String

  Application.ScreenUpdating = False

  'Store the active sheet
  iActive = ActiveSheet.Index

  'Create new window
  ActiveWindow.NewWindow
  iWinCnt = ActiveWorkbook.Windows.Count
 
  'Set the separator based on the version of Excel
  'Office 365 now using a dash
  If InStr(":", ActiveWorkbook.Name) > 0 Then
    sSep = ":"
  Else
    sSep = "  -  "
  End If
 
  'Loop through worksheets of original workbook
  'and apply grid line settings to each sheet.
  For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    Windows(ActiveWorkbook.Name & sSep & "1").Activate
    ws.Activate
    
    'Store the properties
    bGrid = ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines
    bHeadings = ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings
    iZoom = ActiveWindow.Zoom
    
    'Get freeze panes
    bPanes = ActiveWindow.FreezePanes
    If bPanes Then
       iSplitRow = ActiveWindow.SplitRow
       iSplitCol = ActiveWindow.SplitColumn
    End If
    
    'Activate the new window and sheet in loop
    Windows(ActiveWorkbook.Name & sSep & iWinCnt).Activate
    Worksheets(ws.Index).Activate
    
    'Set properties
    With ActiveWindow
      .DisplayGridlines = bGrid
      .DisplayHeadings = bHeadings
      .Zoom = iZoom
      If bPanes Then
        .SplitRow = iSplitRow
        .SplitColumn = iSplitCol
        .FreezePanes = True
      End If
    End With
  Next ws

  'Split Screen View (optional)
  'The following section can be commented out if you don't want split screen.
 
    'Turn screen updating on for split screen
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    For i = iWinCnt To 1 Step -1
      Windows(ActiveWorkbook.Name & sSep & i).Activate
    Next i
    
    'Split view side-by-side vertical
    ActiveWorkbook.Windows.Arrange ArrangeStyle:=xlVertical

    ActiveWindow.ScrollWorkbookTabs Position:=xlFirst
