The tutorial I am using says not to write GUI in the idle section

I suspect it only says not to *run* it in IDLE. Writing it
in IDLE is fine. But sometimes running Tkinter apps in Idle causes strange behaviour. So save the file then run it from
Windows Explorer, eg. by double clicking the file.

have been using the python shell to write the GUI app.

The Python shell is designed for testing and exploring not for writing apps. Use a text editor (Idle or something else). On windows I tended to use vim or Scite or occasionally Eclipse with PyDev plugin.

As well once I have saved the code as .pyw when I go to the location to
open and run it it does nothing how do I run it after its saved and
completed.

That's probably due to a coding error.
Write a short Tkinter program that exhibits the problem and post it here. We can then try to advise you.
