    Can you select multiple open windows (not all) to close?


    In Windows XP, I was able to Ctrl+Click windows on the taskbar to select them, then right click on any one of them & close all (a context menu option). Is there a way to do this in Windows 10? Is there an app that will do this?
    Thanks in advance?

    :)

  4. Can you select multiple open windows (not all) to close?

    Selecting apps to open files while using Open with on Windows 10

    Hello Chris,



    We realize your requirement in this regard.



    Let me confirm that the apps or application that appears in the list of Open with depends on the selection and there usage. Sadly, we don't have any manual option for forcing this change that makes that app appears in the Open with list.



    Suggest you to try using the app for multiple time, when you make selection with the Open with to see if it automatically appears for the next time.

    Keep posted if you require further assistance.

    Thank you.
