Are you lagging in completing your dedicated tasks for the day? Do you feel that the work hours are lesser than the work goals? 

It is commonly observed that some routine tasks take up most of our time and lead to a slow start of the day. Researchers, programmers, writers, designers, and project managers often spend the first 15-20 minutes of their day setting up their desktop screens, the relevant desktop apps, browser tabs, work documents, and project files they work on. 

To eliminate this mundane routine one needs to employ smart solutions to automate tasks. This article provides insights to remember window size and position of Windows 10.

This feature eliminates the need to reset window position in Windows 10 for Microsoft apps like MS Word, MS Edge, etc. 

2- How to Lock a Window in Place – Windows 10?

To ensure multitasking and designing a random layout of your choice, Windows 10 enables you to save the window locations of your apps by locking them in their selected place. You can lock and adjust the screen size in Windows 10 for multiple desktop screens. This feature helps all those personnel who work on multiple apps or desktop files simultaneously and reduces the time spent in resizing. 

To lock a window in its place

• Open a program or an app.

This can be done for multiple app windows however, this feature does not remove the hassle of reopening each desktop window manually.

3- Short Command ‘Shift Key + X’ 

Spare yourself the hassle of resizing the same screen again and again. Use the short command by Windows 10 to set a preferred size of the window screens. This short command helps in saving time used to perform a list of functions to set up the customized size.

Windows 10 offers various features that help you in being more productive. However, if you resize all the desktop windows using Windows 10, you still have to restore all the apps & files manually which is a time taking process.
