How to keep any Window "Always on Top"?

As an IT administrator, you may often find yourself in need of keeping a window always on top of all other windows. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as monitoring a server or application, or simply for convenience when working with multiple programs at once. Fortunately, there are a few different ways to keep any window always on top.

The most basic method is to use the Windows Taskbar. In Windows 7 and later versions, you can simply right-click the application’s taskbar icon and select “Always on Top” from the popup menu. This will ensure that the application window will always stay on top of all other windows, even when you switch tasks.

Another method is to use the “Stay Always on Top” utility, which is available for free download from the Microsoft website. This utility works similarly to the taskbar method, but it is more versatile. It allows you to keep multiple windows always on top, and you can also customize the settings for each window. For example, you can choose to keep certain windows on top when they are maximized, or when they are minimized.

You can also use third-party programs to keep any window always on top. One such program is called “Always on Top Maker”. This program allows you to keep any window always on top, regardless of its size or position. It also provides options to keep the application window on top even when it is minimized, or to keep it on top when it is maximized.

Finally, if you are running Windows 10, you can use the “Compact Overlay” feature to keep any window always on top. This feature allows you to keep a window always visible on top of other windows, even when other programs are running. It is especially useful for monitoring applications or keeping important windows within easy reach.

In summary, there are a few different ways to keep any window always on top. The simplest method is to use the Windows Taskbar, but you can also use a third-party program or the “Compact Overlay” feature in Windows 10. All of these methods are easy to use and can be extremely useful for IT administrators who need to keep a window always visible.
