Assuming the underlying OS is Windows:
Download and install SumatraPDF from https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org/download-free-pdf-viewer.html (last accessed 2019-08-12-2255UTC+2)
Open TeXstudio and go to
Options -> Configure TeXstudio -> Commands -> External PDF viewer
and add the following:"C:/Program Files/SumatraPDF/SumatraPDF.exe" %.pdf
(default path to SumatraPDF, if default install path hasn't been changed during installation process.)Restart TeXstudio, compile
.tex
file, open PDF in external viewer.
