One window always on top with Microsoft PowerToys

[lisajohn]

Working with multiple windows in Microsoft Windows can be challenging. Sometimes you want one window to always be visible. But when you click a different window, that now becomes the active one, which means your previous window retreats into the background or is partly obscured by any windows in front of it.

You can sneak past this limitation with a Microsoft PowerToy known as Always on Top. By activating the Always on Top PowerToy feature and applying it to a specific window, you pin that window so it’s always visible even if you click on another window. You can tweak this PowerToy feature so it displays a border around the selected window and change the shortcut that triggers Always on Top.

Microsoft PowerToys are a nifty way to customize your Windows 10 PC. They let you do things like change the desktop background and make the taskbar bigger or smaller. One of the neat features is that they always stay on top, no matter what you're doing.
