Running applications in parallel on Windows 10 not only boosts your productivity but also allows seamless usage of multiple accounts.
Windows 10 harbors numerous hidden features waiting to be discovered. One such feature is the ability to use multiple applications concurrently by duplicating them.
1. Duplicate Application Windows via the Start Menu
During computer usage, opening additional windows within the application interface is restricted. To open extra application windows, access them through the Start Menu.
Step 1: Open the Start Menu and type the name of the desired application.
Step 2: Left-click or press Enter to launch the application.
Step 3: Immediately, a new window of the application will appear for parallel use.
2. Duplicate Windows Using Shortcut Keys
For certain applications, manufacturers employ the shortcut keys Ctrl + N to open an additional window for parallel execution. However, not every application supports the Ctrl + N shortcut, so carefully check for these shortcuts in the application's introduction or settings. If supported, take advantage of this feature to open multiple windows simultaneously.
3. Run Applications in Parallel via the Taskbar
The Taskbar provides a myriad of different features, and if you know how to leverage them, you can effortlessly run applications in parallel without limitations through your computer's Taskbar.
Step 1: Right-click on the application icon on the Taskbar.
Step 2: Next, click on the line with the icon and name of the application. The system will automatically open additional application windows for your use.
4. Run Applications in Parallel via Windows Accounts
To utilize this method, you'll need to create an additional Local account on Windows with a complete username and password. If you're unfamiliar with creating accounts on a Windows computer, check out this article!
Step 1: Hold down the Shift key and Right-click on the app you want to open concurrently on the main screen. Then, choose Run as a different user.
Step 2: Next, simply enter the username/password of the Local account on your Windows computer that you either just created or already have. The system will automatically launch the application as an independent instance through the selected Windows account.
If the main screen lacks the app icon, open the app concurrently using the following method:
Step 1: Open the Start Menu and type the name of the app you want to open concurrently. Then, Right-click on the app and choose Open file location.
Step 2: Then, hold down the Shift key and Right-click on the app to select Run as a different user.
Finally, you just need to enter the username/password of the Local account on your Windows computer.
5. Open Multiple Application Windows Simultaneously on Windows PC
In addition to the aforementioned methods, there's another quick way – open applications using both the mouse and keyboard shortcuts.
Action: Hold down the Shift key and Left-click on the application icon on the Taskbar. The system will automatically open additional windows for your use.
