QMainWindow::setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint) works on all versions of Windows except for Windows 10.

On Windows 10, user can switch desktop using short-cut key: Windows + Tab, and create a new desktop. Thus the user can leave the Qt application.

I want to know how to stay on top on Windows 10.

What does your app do that you want to revoke the users freedom of switching desktop which is a feature by the OS? – Nithish Jan 20 '16 at 08:24

I think that you should go deeper. You need to disable all applications, including explorer, except yours. – Dmitry Sazonov Jan 20 '16 at 09:03
