# 21. Windows + Z: Open Snap Layouts Menu
Arranging multiple windows on your screen can be messy and time-consuming when you’re trying to multitask effectively. Windows 11 makes this much smarter with predefined layout options.
Press **Windows + Z** while a window is active to instantly display beautiful snap layout thumbnails. Choose from different arrangements — side by side, quadrants, or stacked views. Once selected, Windows remembers your preferred layouts for future use. This shortcut turns chaotic multitasking into a clean, organized workspace, making it perfect for comparing documents, monitoring dashboards, or working with references.
