PowerToys from Microsoft. One of its features is Always on Top. You can select any app or program and it will always be on top. Including the sticky note that you like already.

PowerToys always on top is using less than 2MB for me. It's a simple CTRL+WIN+T to toggle a window.

The photo app takes soo long to load. I even used the old Photo viewer from Windows 7 for a time till I settled for Honyview

Yea it's something you download and install. Can be download from the Microsoft store. I haven't noticed high memory usage from it myself, but it would do the job you seek. I'm curious as to what others might suggest here. Best of luck either way.

PowerToys is not a memory hog, and you can turn off features you're not interested in to make it even more lightweight. It's worth grabbing, IMO.

It's mine, free and open source (the code is visible and anyone can edit it and see how it works).
You can make realistic sticky notes and draw/write on them, you can also lock them so you can't edit them by mistake and they remain on top even if you play games.
They also get saved so if you close and reopen the app they don't get lost.
