Window Closer: Simple Window Closing Utility

Close all open program windows with a single click, leaving background processes and services running.

What is Window Closer?

Window Closer is a lightweight utility program designed to help you quickly close all open application windows on your Windows computer with a single click.

It runs minimzed in the system tray and when launched, adds an icon that resembles a red 'X' to the tray. Clicking on this icon triggers Window Closer's main function, which is to iterate through all open program windows detected by the OS and individually send close window commands to each one.

This effectively shuts all open application windows including file explorer tabs, web browser tabs and windows, Office documents and application frames. Background processes and services remain unaffected and continue running. This allows you to quickly clear your desktop or reset your workspace without having to manually close each window one by one.

Some of the key features of Window Closer include:

• Light-weight and system resource friendly
• One-click operation to close all windows
• Blacklist to exclude specific apps from being closed
• Multiple tray menu options for added flexibility
• Portable standalone executable, no install needed

Overall, Window Closer is an easy-to-use open source utility for Windows that serves the simple but useful purpose of letting you rapidly close all visible GUI application windows to declutter your desktop with a single mouse click.
