Tiling Windows 11 Portable -
And that is why, to this day, Adrian uses a single, maximized window. One window. One zone. One app at a time. He’s since bought a second monitor just to hold his wallpaper. He doesn't move anything onto it. He just likes the way the light reflects off the empty, untiled, beautifully chaotic void.
That night, he tried to delete FancyZones. He went into PowerToys settings, un-toggled "Enable Zones," and clicked Uninstall. The dialog box froze. Then, a new window appeared. It wasn't a Windows dialog. It was plain white, with black monospaced text: tiling windows 11

At 3:14 AM, Adrian woke to a soft, rhythmic thump-thump-thump . He stumbled into his office. The monitors were on.

He closed the laptop. He called in sick.
