Windows 10 users rejoice! A new keyboard shortcut has been added that makes your computer always on top. This nifty little feature is thanks to the PowerToys app, which is available for free on the Windows Store. The new keyboard shortcut, which can be found in the Windows key + Tab menu, is called “Always on Top.” When activated, this shortcut will keep your current window always visible on top of all other windows. This means you can easily access whatever you’re working on without having to constantly search for it. This nifty little feature is perfect for busy users who want to stay organized and focused. It’s also great for people who work with multiple windows open at once. If you’re not a fan of PowerToys, there are other similar apps available that do the same thing. ..
In the release notes on GitHub for version 0.53.1, Microsoft said, “Welcome to the family! With a quick Win+Ctrl+T, the window in focus is toggled to be on top. Toggle again, and it reverts back to normal.”
This new method is much easier than fussing with third-party tools or using other workarounds. Now, you need to download the latest version of Microsoft PowerTools, and you’ll be able to choose any keyboard shortcut to keep a window on top.
One example of how this could be useful is watching a YouTube video, keeping it from going to the background when you click on something else. By entering your keyboard shortcut, the window will pin itself and stay in front of everything else.

Of course, this functionality comes along with everything else PowerToys can accomplish, so it’s definitely worth downloading the software and trying it out, even if you only take advantage of one or two of the things it can do to make using your Windows PC more enjoyable.
