You should be using FancyZones, Microsoft’s killer multitasking app

Every so often, a tool comes along that changes how you work, and makes you wish that you’d started using it sooner. For me, that tool is FancyZones, which is technically a feature of Microsoft’s broader PowerToys app for Windows enthusiasts.
