Installation

Method 1.

• run "winget install PersistentWindows" in command window

Method 2.

• Download the latest PersistentWindows*.zip file from the Releases page
• Unzip the file into any directory.
• You can remove the version number from the folder name, because when the program is updated to newer versions, the folder remains the same

Note: the program can be run from any directory, but the program saves its data in C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\PersistentWindows

For PersistentWindows to be able to restore windows with elevated privileges (for tools like Task Manager or Event Viewer), it needs to be run with Administrator privileges.

Usage Instructions

• Run PersistentWindows.exe (preferably as administrator). Note that this app has no main window and its icon is hidden in the System Tray area on the taskbar by default.

• To have the icon always appear on the taskbar, flip on the PersistentWindows item in the taskbar settings.

• Right click the PersistentWindows icon to show the menu, where the capture and restore actions can be selected.

• To restore the taskbar position, avoid moving mouse when the icon turns red.

• When software upgrades are available, a notice will show up in the menu.
