Have you ever wanted to keep a window in view and not get it hidden by the new application or window you click – here is how to do it.

Click on the power-Toys set up and run the Setup App once the download is complete.

Check I agree and then click install.

PowerToys will take a minute or two to install then you will see the screen below – click [Close]

To set an application window to be “Always On Top” so it’s never hidden by the active application

  1. Select the window
