Microsoft PowerToys is a free, open-source collection of utilities designed to help Windows users customize their operating system and boost productivity. Originally brought back from the Windows 95 era, PowerToys offers a suite of handy tools that streamline everyday tasks and improve workflow.
Some popular features include FancyZones, which lets you create custom window layouts for better multitasking; PowerToys Run, a quick launcher similar to Spotlight on Mac; and Image Resizer, which allows fast resizing of images directly from the right-click menu. There are also utilities like Keyboard Manager to remap keys and shortcuts and Color Picker for easily identifying colors on your screen.
With regular updates and community input, PowerToys is a powerful toolkit for anyone looking to tailor Windows to their personal needs and work smarter, not harder.
