使用FancyZones创建自定义桌面布局 (Create Custom Desktop Layouts With FancyZones)
Windows 10 lets you multitask by positioning windows into different areas on the screen, but getting the right window into a specific spot can be challenging. With FancyZones, you can set up a specific screen layout ahead of time, then simply pop windows into each predefined zone of that layout.
Windows 10通过将窗口放置在屏幕上的不同区域中来使您执行多任务,但是将正确的窗口放置到特定位置可能会遇到挑战。 使用FancyZones,您可以提前设置特定的屏幕布局,然后只需将窗口弹出到该布局的每个预定义区域中即可。
To do this, select FancyZones in the PowerToys Settings window and click Launch zones editor.
为此,请在PowerToys设置窗口中选择FancyZones,然后单击启动区域编辑器。

At the FancyZones editor, create a layout by choosing one of the default templates-such as columns, rows, or grid-and modifying it. Then add or remove zones as you see fit. Alternatively, click the heading for Custom to build a layout from scratch. When done, click Apply.
在FancyZones编辑器上,通过选择默认模板之一(例如列,行或网格)并修改它来创建布局。 然后根据需要添加或删除区域。 或者,单击“自定义”标题以从头开始构建布局。 完成后,单击“应用”。
