    Can I Keep 2 Windows Open and Visible without One Going in Background?


    Hello, everyone, I'm using the most current version of Windows 10. I need to know if I can lock or freeze a window, so that it stays visible when I'm working with another application. I have Excel open, and maximized. I also have Windows Explorer open, but I have that window set to a specific size and position. That specific size and position does not need to be permanent, but I want the Explorer window to stay there when I'm working in Excel. In other words, I want both application windows to stay in the foreground. I do not want the Explorer window to go into the background and not be visible, while I'm in Excel. Is this possible? If so, what is the procedure, please? Thank you. Jd

    :)

    Background for Windows 10

    Hi Ronald,

    To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to change back the background time to 10 seconds:

    • Press Windows key+R to open the Run window.
    • Type this command: control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper to open old Control Panel settings, and then click
      OK.
    • Select your preferred desktop background and under "Change picture every" option, choose
      10 seconds.
    • Click Save changes.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.
