If you’re using Windows 10, you can enable always-on-top for the task manager. This feature will keep your computer running as if it were always on, even when it’s not. To enable Always On Top for the task manager, open the task manager and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. Under “Task Manager” tab, select “Always On Top.” Now, if you close or restart your computer, the task manager will keep running even when you’re not currently working on a task. This is a great feature if you want to stay focused while working on a project.


Task Manager is an indispensable tool in Windows 10, and it’s good to keep it handy while troubleshooting your PC. With one simple setting, Task Manager will always remain visible on screen—no matter how many windows you have open. Here’s how.

First, we need to bring up Task Manager. In Windows 10, right-click the taskbar, and select “Task Manager” from the menu that pops up.

If you see the simple Task Manager interface, click “More Details” at the bottom of the window.

In the full Task Manager window, click Options > Always on Top to activate always-on-top mode. A checkbox will appear to the left of the option.

After that, the Task Manager window will always stay on top of all open windows.

The feature will stay activated even if you close Task Manager and reopen it again. And if you’d like to disable the “Always on Top” feature later, simply uncheck the item in the “Options” menu. Very handy!
