As if the built-in Calculator app in Windows 10 wasn’t already pretty capable enough, it’s about to get even more useful. Windows Insiders on the Fast Ring are getting a new option that will make it a lot easier to use while multitasking between multiple windows at any given time.

When enabled, Always on Top mode keeps the Calculator front and center of what you’re doing, allowing you to stay on task without having to switch back and forth. The senior program manager of the app, Dave Grochocki, confirmed the new feature on Twitter:

Keep #WindowsCalculator on top of everything else as you work! Update is live for Insider Fast PCs ????#WindowsInsiders #BuildTogether https://t.co/iT68DTw5Rt

Even though the Calculator might be only available to Windows Insiders of the Fast Ring for sake of limited testing, the app is updated on the Microsoft Store independently from Windows updates, so hopefully it won’t be long before it reaches to all Windows 10 users. If you are on the Fast Ring, be sure to check the Store for updates, and let us know what you think of the new feature in the comment area below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
