It\u2019s easy. Grab the title bar of the window that you want to stay open and move it back and forth quickly (shake it up). After you shake it a\u00a0 couple of times the window you shook will remain open and all other program windows will be minimized. Shake it a couple of times again, and all the minimized windows are back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2019\/5qtips.png\" alt=\"5 Quick and Easy Windows 10 Tips Cloudeight\" width=\"587\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Windows 11&gt;&gt;&gt;<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">To maximize the window you&#8217;re working in grab the title bar and move it quickly up to the top of the screen.

No problemo! Hold down the Windows Key and click the PrntScr (Print Screen) key. Now look in your Pictures folder. You\u2019ll find a folder inside Pictures called Screenshots. You\u2019ll find your screenshot there. Take as many screenshots as you want this way, Windows will save them all in C:\\Users\\Your User Name\\Pictures\\Screenshots\u00a0 as screenshot(1).png, screenshot(2).png, screenshot(3).png, and so on. And, yes, of course, you can rename them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2019\/5qtips2a.png\" alt=\"5 Quick and Easy Windows 10 Tips Cloudeight\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Above: The folder in Pictures that Windows creates automatically to store all the screenshots you create this way.
