To get all the windows back, just repeat the shaking action.
  1. Split Screens
Multi-taskers swear by split screen. You can split the Windows 10 screen into halves or even quarters. In the older Windows versions, users could only snap two windows at a time. However, now the users can snap four windows at a time. Simply drag the window to any one corner of the screen. Now, just keep pushing the window’s edge against the display’s edge. Repeat the action for other windows.  Alternatively, just use the Win + Arrow keys.
  1. Use Multitasking Keyboard Shortcuts
Windows 10 comes with a number of wonderful keyboard shortcuts for easy management and navigation between open screens. To see the thumbnails of all the open windows, just use the Win + Tab keyboard shortcut. You can easily switch between open apps and other screens by just using the Alt + Tab keyboard shortcut.
