What is PowerToys - Always on Top?

📣 This app is part of the Microsoft PowerToys icon Microsoft PowerToys bundle and cannot be downloaded separately.

With the activation/deactivation shortcut (default: Win+Ctrl+T), the active window will be placed above all non-topmost windows and should stay above them, even when the window is deactivated.

From the Settings tab, you can configure the following options:

  • Activation shortcut: The customizable keyboard command to turn on or off the always-on-top property for that window.
  • Do not activate when Game Mode is on: Prevents the feature from being activated when actively playing a game on the system.
  • Color mode: Choose either Windows default or Custom color for the highlight border.
  • Color: The custom color of the highlight border.
  • Border thickness (px): The thickness of the highlight border. Measured in pixels.
  • Play a sound: Toggle playing of a short alert chirp. Activating and deactivating use different sounds.
  • Excluded apps: Add an application's name, or part of the name, one per line. (e.g. adding Notepad will match both Notepad.exe and Notepad++.exe; to match only Notepad.exe, add the .exe extension)
