Always On Top — a program that allows you to pin any window on top of the rest. It can be useful if the application the user is working with does not have built-in functionality that allows him to be on top of all the windows, or you need to fix an image, text document or explorer from above. It’s also worth noting that Always On Top can work in all versions of Windows from XP to Windows 10 Creators Update, it doesn’t require installation and doesn’t make any changes to the system registry.
Working with the program is very simple, the main window will show instructions. After starting up, you need to put the cursor on the window title, which should be placed over the rest of the window and press the key specified in the program (from F6 to F11, the function key will be assigned automatically, depending on its availability). Immediately after choosing, the following confirmation will be opened: «Do you really want to fix the %name of the window% on top of the rest of the’ after the answer is yes, a message will appear indicating that everything was successful. Always On Top can now be closed or minimized if you plan to lock another window in the future. The selected window will be placed on top of the others until it is closed or another window is selected.
The main benefit of using Always On Top software is that it allows you to keep any window pinned on top, enhancing productivity by ensuring important information remains visible.
Important note: in modern operating systems — Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10, the program must run as an administrator, otherwise it will not work properly.
— OS: Windows XP or higher
— Administrator privileges for proper functioning on Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10

Improves productivity by reducing window switching.
Customizable to suit individual preferences and work styles.
Can interfere with multi-window workflows or task switching.
Might cause unwanted distractions during important tasks.
Potential for screen clutter and decreased productivity.

Finally an app that does this! I don’t understand why this option is not available in a lot of programs. This should be the standard. Great job!

This app is great, especially for the pinning excel windows. The new 2016 excel keeps popping up random new windows, and this app completely fixed that product. Easy to download, highly recommended.

Always On Top is a software utility that allows a window to remain above all other windows, regardless of the user’s actions. This allows the user to keep important windows at the forefront of their workspace, and makes it easy to access information even when other windows are open. The software supports a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Android.

I recently used Always On Top, a free software to keep windows on top of other applications. It’s simple and easy to use, with a minimalistic interface. It has several options for customization, including changing the transparency level of the window. I found it very helpful for multitasking, as I could easily check the contents of two windows at once. The software works well with multiple monitors, so if you have more than one, you can be sure it will still keep your windows on top. Overall, I found it to be a great tool.

I recently used the Always On Top software and found it to be a very useful tool. It was easy to install and setup and it does what it says it does. The software allows me to keep any window on top of all other windows on my desktop. I found the program to be extremely useful in multitasking and allowing me to have multiple windows open and easily switch between them. It also has a very minimalistic design and is not intrusive to the rest of my desktop. The only downside is that it only works with Windows systems and not Macs.

I recently started using the Always On Top software to keep track of important tasks. I find it very useful for the tasks I need to remember, as I can easily keep them always visible on top of whatever other task I’m working on. The interface is intuitive and the setup is fast and straightforward. I like that I can set the window to be on top of all other windows, while still allowing them to be moved around. Overall, a great tool to help me stay organized.

This sfotware is really usuful to keep multiple windows open and accesible at the same time, and its easy to use, but I find that it can be a bit slow at times.

This software is very useful for keeping a specific window on top of others. It is easy to use and has a simple interface. The option to toggle the feature on and off is convenient. The software does not seem to have any glitches or bugs. It may not be necessary for all users, but it does serve a specific purpose.

Initial release
Привет, друзья. В этой статье рассмотрим тему реализации в Windows возможности крепления окон выбранных программ поверх окон других программ. Отсутствие такой возможности в числе системного функционала я лично считаю недоработкой Microsoft. Казалось бы, такая мелочь, но реализация этой возможности улучшила бы юзабилити Windows. И наряду с системными функциями типа Snap или Task View предложила бы неплохой микс опций для мультизадачности. Некоторые из программ предусматривают возможность собственного крепления поверх других окон, но это в основном софт типа медиаплееров. А как сделать так, чтобы мы могли окно любого приложения Windows закрепить поверх других? Для решения этой задачи есть программы типа «Always On Top». Ниже предлагаю рассмотреть тройку таких.
Всегда поверх других окон: утилиты типа «Always On Top»
Итак, друзья, как в среде Windows реализовать функционал крепления окон поверх других? Чтобы мы могли нужное приложение – калькулятор, информер, проигрыватель, мелкую игрульку, заметку и т.п. — лицезреть постоянно, тогда как в процессе активной работы мы будем переключаться между массой других приложений.
Я подобрал для вас три годных программки, которые решают эту задачу.
TurboTop
Простейшая бесплатная утилита TurboTop ничего не умеет более, как делать нужные нам окна приложений «Always On Top». После установки она сворачивается в системный трей и работает постоянно в фоне. На её значке в трее вызываем контекстное меню и галочкой отмечаем программу из числа запущенных, чьё окно должно быть поверх других окон.
Назад всё возвращаем снятием этой галочки.
Скачать TurboTop:
https://www.savardsoftware.com/downloads.asp
Always On Top Maker
Ещё более примитивная утилита – бесплатная портативная Always On Top Maker. У этой даже интерфейса своего нет. Увидеть её можем только в диспетчере задач.
Возможность крепления окон поверх других эта утилита реализует с помощью горячих клавиш. Если мы хотим сделать активное окно «Always On Top», жмём Ctrl+Alt+T. Повторное нажатие этой комбинации открепит окно. Чтобы закрыть утилиту, жмём комбинацию Ctrl+Alt+Q. Ну или завершаем её с помощью диспетчера задач.
Официального сайта утилиты Always On Top Maker мне не удалось отыскать, так что, друзья, кому нужна она, качайте её на софт-порталах Интернета.
WindowSpace
Программа WindowSpace предусматривает несколько функций по работе с окнами приложений Windows. В основной сути своей эта программа предназначена для реализации в старых версиях Windows – XP и Vista – аналога функции Snap. Ведь эта функция системно реализована, начиная только с Windows 7. Реализуя в старых системах аналог функции Snap, программа WindowSpace позволяет удобно комплектовать окна приложений на экране путём их прилипания к краям экрана и пристыковки к окнам других приложений. WindowSpace также позволяет:
-
Перемещать окна по экрану с шагом в 10 пикселей по клавишам Win+Ctrl+стрелки навигации;
-
Оттягивать окна с шагом в 10 пикселей для выбора удобного размера по клавишам Win+Alt+стрелки навигации;
-
Располагать окна по центру окна по клавише Win+Num5;
-
Сворачивать и восстанавливать окна по клавишам Win+стрелки вверх/вниз;
-
Располагать окна каскадом, по вертикали, по горизонтали, закрывать все окна за раз, перемещать окна на задний план и т.п. по заданным пользователем клавишам.
Но есть у программы особенные возможности, которые хотелось бы отметить отдельно. Первая – это, собственно, функция крепления окон поверх других. Один из способов её использования реализован в контекстном меню, вызываемом на верхней панели окон классических программ Windows. В этом меню после установки WindowSpace у нас появится пункт этой программы. И в числе опций WindowSpace будет, в частности, «Поверх всех окон». Таким вот образом и делаем программу «Always On Top», но, повторюсь, если она классическая.
Для современных UWP-приложений Windows 10 это не будет работать. Для них можно использовать горячие клавиши Win+F9. В контекстном меню, вызываемом на верхней панели окон классических, как видим на скриншоте выше, есть две другие возможности, те самые, которые стоит отметить отдельно. Одна из них — «Свернуть в трей», т.е. программа WindowSpace, ко всему прочему, ещё и являет собой решение для сворачивания системных утилит и сторонних программ в трей, если те сами такую возможность не предусматривают. Ну и третья особая функция — «Сделать прозрачным», это функция, которая делает окна приложений Windows полупрозрачными.
В настройках WindowSpace можем сменить предустановленные для крепления окон поверх других горячие клавиши на любые удобные нам. И также можем задать горячие клавиши для установки прозрачности окон, увеличения/уменьшения степени прозрачности.
И ещё, друзья, WindowSpace предусматривает использование отдельных её возможностей с помощью кнопок сворачивания, разворачивания и закрытия окон в тандеме с правым кликом мыши и кликом колеса. И вот в числе этих возможностей есть крепление поверх других окон, его мы можем применить к активному окну Windows, нажимая его кнопку закрытия с зажатой правой клавишей мыши. Эту комбинацию при необходимости можем сменить на другую. Очень удобно, и это, кстати, работает как для классических программ, так и для UWP-приложений Windows 10.
WindowSpace – программа платная, стоит порядка $30. Есть 30-дневная полнофункциональная триал-версия. Скачать её:

Sometimes you need an open window be on top of all other applications and windows for various reasons. It can be beneficial for monitoring a particular application or watching a movie while working or sticking the audio player on top of all windows. Windows 10 does not offer any way to set a window on top of other windows. You can only arrange windows in cascading tiles which forces all windows to share the same screen space.

We will also discuss those programs in this article. All the tools and utilities discussed in this article are free.
WindowTop
WindowTop is a freeware utility that allows you to pin your any app on the top of another app, so you can easily keep on working and do not need to minimize and maximize each page and app again & again. WindowTop also comes with exclusive features such as “Shrink Window”, an innovative way to minimize windows. And it has a dark/read mode, which you can use at night for reading purposes. This is a simple way to solve your issue and show any app on top of another app’s window.

Through Mouse – DeskPins
DeskPins is a freeware utility, you can simply use it with a click of your mouse. It gives you an unlimited number of pins and you can use those pins to put any app on the top of other application windows.

WinLister is a small but a practical utility that can set any application to top-most mode, and that window will show to you on top of all other windows, or as a pinned window.
This utility also displays the list of opened windows on your system. For each window, some useful information is displayed: the title, the handle of the window, location, size, class name, process number, the name of the program that created the window, and more.

Always On Top is a useful feature which is missed by Microsoft in Windows 10 Operating System, but I hope by going through above ways, you can use Always On Top feature to pin any windows on the top of any other opened windows easily. From my opinion, I like StayOnTop tool because this performs one function only and that is required one.
