WinControl 2
A downloadable tool for Windows
WinControl 2 is a lightweight Windows utility that helps users efficiently organize and manage open application windows. Designed for productivity, it allows you to split or stack windows on a specific screen and includes a keep-awake feature to prevent the system from locking. It's a practical tool for business and corporate environments.
Features:
-
Split or stack windows on a selected screen using the Up and Down buttons. Arrange up to 4 rows per screen and choose to ignore specific windows without closing them.
-
Display real-time mouse pointer coordinates.
-
Activate the keep-awake function by holding the Shift key and clicking the Info button. The button turns green when active. Repeat the action to turn it off.
-
Terminate the selected application using the Kill button.

🔧 How to Install This App Safely
Because this app is not code-signed, Windows may show a warning when you try to run it. Don’t worry — the app is safe, and here’s how to proceed:
📦 Step-by-Step: Bypass the SmartScreen Warning
-
Download the EXE and locate it in your Downloads folder
-
Right-click the file → click "Properties"
-
In the General tab, check the box that says:
âś… "Unblock" (if it appears), then click Apply -
Double-click the file to run it
-
When you see this blue SmartScreen warning:
“Windows protected your PC”
Click “More Info”
Then click “Run Anyway”
🧠Why This Happens
This warning appears because the app isn't yet signed with a Microsoft-verified certificate. Signing certificates are expensive and usually used by large companies. As a small developer, I focus on keeping costs low to offer affordable pricing.
🛡️ Safety & Trust
-
This app does not install malware, ads, or background services
-
It was built entirely in VB.NET, uses standard Windows APIs, and does not access your personal files
