The Always On Top PowerToy on Windows is incredibly useful. If you've never heard of it before, this Windows Shell extension essentially pins a selected open window to the top, meaning it's always visible, even if you click on another window.

This is super handy if you have an app you use so regularly, even switching with a fast navigation tool like Task View is too slow. Apps like the Windows Calculator or Slack, for example.
