Installing windows means that the window is always displayed in front of you on the screen wherever you go and switch between programs. Usually, when you open a window, for example, for a program, and then you move to another program window, you will notice that the first window has disappeared to display only one, or that the second window has become covering the first, which is what It may be annoying in the event that you want to permanently see the content of a specific window. The solution is to install the window on the screen, and thus it will remain in front of you on the screen wherever you move between windows and programs. Unfortunately, the Windows system does not have a built-in option in the settings that does this, but the external tools that do this task are multiple, and yet in this article I will highlight the best methods that we have tried to install windows on the screen.

Initially, we should point out that the Windows system has an alternative option other than installing windows on the screen. We reviewed this option in the topic Tricks you should know to make using Windows easier, as windows were displayed side by side by dividing the screen according to the number of open windows, meaning two or three windows can be displayed. Or four together on the screen, move between them smoothly, and your eyes will be on all windows at the same time. However, if you did not find any benefit from that option, then follow the following lines to learn ways to install windows and display them permanently on the screen.

Method 1: Using Microsoft PowerToys

Microsoft's PowerToys is definitely a well-known program that offers a host of helpful features to increase productivity or add more customization to the user interface. Personally, I consider it to be one of Microsoft's most powerful and best tools as a "means" to improve the way we use Windows on a daily basis. Through this tool, it is possible to perform many tasks such as changing the functions of keyboard buttons , launching programs quickly , organizing open windows to equal sizes, adjusting the dimensions of a batch of images with one click, knowing what prevents deletion or modification of the file , in addition to extracting any text from the images. .



You can also install windows on the screen using this program. All you need to start is to install PowerToys on your device, either through the Microsoft Store or by downloading the EXE file from the Microsoft site to install manually, then run the program and select the Always On Top tool from the side menu and activate it By activating the "Enable Always On Top" button as shown in the attached image. After activating the tool, scroll down and the keyboard shortcut for installing windows will appear within the Activation shortcut section, and by default it will be Win + Ctrl + T, but you can change it if you want, just click on the pen icon and press the keys that you want to use as a shortcut, which must start with a key Win, Ctrl, Alt, or Shift, and when done, press Save.

The program also allows you to display colored borders around the pinned window, play a sound when pinning the window, as well as set certain programs to be excluded from being installed by Powertoys.

You can now install any window to display it permanently on the screen, by pressing the virtual keyboard shortcut Win + Ctrl + T to show colored edges around the window, indicating that the window is installed on the screen, so if you open other windows it will appear behind this window . To uninstall, press the same keyboard shortcut.

Method 2: Using the DeskPins tool

You can also try DeskPins , which is a simple and completely free tool that works on any version of the Windows system and is very easy to deal with, so that you can pin any window to the screen after a few clicks and the windows will remain suspended until you uninstall. Just download the program and then run it to notice the appearance of a small icon on the taskbar below, as shown in the image above, through the menu that will appear after clicking right on this icon, you can open the Options window to control the way the program works in terms of how to install windows or create a shortcut A keyboard to install windows through.

Now all you have to do in the event that there is a window that you want to install on the screen is to click on the tool icon from the taskbar with one click and you will notice that the mouse pointer has turned into a “pin” icon and you can click on any window that you want to display permanently on the screen to install this "pin" it! Where you notice the appearance of a "red pin" on the title bar, wherever you move between windows and open programs, this window will remain suspended on the screen. In the event that you want to cancel this installation in the window, press the red pin to remove it. Keep in mind that you can install more than one window in this way without problems.
