Windows 10 - SHAKE IT

When you have multiple windows open, you can temporarily clear the clutter by grabbing the top of your preffered window and "shaking" it to minimize all the other ones. If you want to get back to how it was with the other windows in the background, you can "shake" again and the other windows will come back.

Windows 10 - KEEP THE TASK MANAGER ALWAYS ON TOP

I find it annoying that this feature is not enabled by default, for Windows Operating Systems.
Most times when you want to kill an annoying program that won't close, you open the Task Manager and it stays at the back of the current windows open. To stop this from happening again, do this:
Press on your keyboard, Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager. Then click Options and Always on top from the file menu at the top of the window. Close the Task Manager and now everytime you want to use it, it will open on top of all other windows. Another way to open the Task Manger is to right click your Taskbar and click Task Manager.
