The Task Manager is a helpful tool in Windows 11 that is used to view and manage processes, performance statistics, app history, users, process details, and services. By default, it behaves as standard software, but it is possible to set it to display always on top of other windows. Once done, the Task Manager window will open and stay on top of all other windows on the desktop.
Sometimes you need to keep Task Manager always on top for some reasons, such as you are troubleshooting your Windows 11 or some of the installed apps, and for that reason, you want to keep Task Manager always on top for a while.
Keeping Task Manager on top of other windows allows you to monitor CPU usage, memory, running processes, etc. Even if some applications are opened in maximized mode, Task Manager will remain in front for as long as you want.
