Tip of the Week: Minimize All

Tip of the Week: Minimize All

How often do you find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of clutter on your desktop? You might dig through a pile of applications, windows, files, and so much more, and it can be difficult to make sense of it all and be productive. Thankfully, there is a rather simple tool to help you clean up your desktop and focus on one window at a time.

Minimize All But One Application Window

  1. Select the window you want to keep visible.
  2. Rapidly shake the window back and forth across your display.

Once you do this, all but one window should minimize, providing you with clear visibility of the remaining window.

You do have to enable this feature in Windows 11, but that’s simple: access Settings > System > Multitasking and turn the switch next to “Title bar window shake” on.

If you want to get all those windows back, too, that’s easy enough. All you have to do is access them from the toolbar. You can also shake your active window once again to maximize all other windows once again, giving you the ability to sort them out as needed.

It’s Simple, Just the Way It Should Be
