Holy god, I remember Power Toys with fondness. Being able to open cabinet files was very useful. Great video.

Thank you for the style you present your content. It makes my IT Support role easier when troubleshooting IT issues when working on my tickets.

Fancy Zones is exactly what I've been looking for, for quite a while now. Thanks!!

The image resize has saved me a lot of time. Actually found out about PowerToys recently while looking for an easier way to resize pictures without having to open the file every time.

Glad they re-released this tool set. I used it back in the day and I will definitely check it out. Tweakui was very useful. Sadly, I forgot about until watching this video. Windows would be better if they allow of customization of the UI. On a side note I am surprised that so many people don't know what a tilde is.

My favorite tool! I don't use ALL its features, but I constantly use: Always on Top, FancyZones, Find My Mouse, Mouse Highlighter, sometimes PowerToys Run.

Note these PowerToys are for both Windows 10 & 11, however, Windows 11 may have a few features not available on Windows 10. More may be added in the future

FancyZones: the MOST important feature for me is "Move newly created windows to the current active monitor". If I have a fullscreen video in Chrome on my main monitor and open Chrome on the second one, it always opens as a new window there and not as a new tab.

Very Helpful. Still using Windows 10 Thank You.

i love fancy zones i use it a lot

Heya, Those are some interesting tools I personally dont need them but its nice to know. BigT,Alaska

Great video. Thanks!

I loved how in tweakui you could get rid of the shortcut arrows on your desktop icons. Those things are annoying.

Informative, Thank you

I F-ing love this channel

Love the wallpaper, where did you get it from?

Informative video. Power Toys. Much love from India.

you can change the settings for "shortcuts" to show if you hold down the windows key... so it's actually VERY useful, instead of trying to remember all the strange windows key combos

when you pick the file to download, whats the difference between the arm66.exe and x64.exe files? Which one the the recommend one to download if I really only want to use Fancy Zones? thxs

would you consider doing a review of the tools for windows tablets in Tablet Pro STUDIO? They are unique tools like powertoys tools that you can't find anywhere else. Makes for interesting content and makes using desktop apps much much easier with pen and touch. comparable to keyboard and mouse speeds. Thank you

I think SyncToy was also in the old PowerToys release. I used to use it to sync my data between my work PC and my home PC, via a USB drive as the go-between. It is no longer supported for Windows 11. You can still install it, but you also have to install .NET Framework 3.5

Why havent more outlets covered powertoys? I just found out about them and theyre so useful~

why microsoft can't add these tools to windows i mean right click on windows border will give option to pin or pin icon in right coner ect

Thank you for this.

I remapped Caps Lock to Home, very useful.

btw, you have a GREAT voice.

Hmm, it's me only or there isn't the link to github in description nor comments section?

Awake puts a coffee cup icon in the System Tray and you can right click for different power schemes. I have mine start up with Windows and use it every day.

Nice video PowerToys is and on Windows 8.1?

I have a LG LED Monitor 20M35, its original adapter got damaged. I tried to search offline but I was unsuccessful. Can I use an adapter for a computer monitor that provides the same voltage but a different amperage. The polarity of the adapter is the same as before. New adapter rating - 19V, 1.3A. Old adapter rating - 19V, 0.84A.

Good video.

Awake is a bit weird to me since it doesn’t show a count down?

I discovered a little something called "Rectify11" about a year ago. The newest 3.0 release is a standalone installable package and not a pre-packaged ISO file like Version 2.5 and older. At the time of writing this comment, I am using Rectify11 on Windows 11 Version 22H2, alongside Start11, the newest release of Stardock's start menu replacement program for modern Windows versions.

The button to the left of 1 is the backtick (think like back slash \ )

5:20 I like Yan Vermeer

Maybe its just my system but the power tools had a significant increase in CPU usage. My system was polling at 30 to 40 percent after install, when normally my system has 1 to 2 percent usage while idle. Not worth the decrease in speed. Like I said could just be my system.

If only it allowed us to save the Zones. That would make it worth it all. I'm in IT and I use 3 monitors and on my left monitor, I'll have 4 different applications/ tools opened and I simply snap them to a grid by dragging them to their respective corners which can be time consuming as well because it's an extra step on top of having to sign in to them all. What I need is some type of app/ tool that allows me to save the zones so that I don't have to repeatedly open and rearrange the windows. It's so frustrating.

Amusing to see them adding as a "power" feature what I'm using as a standard on Linux systems for decades.

Learning keyboard shortcuts is an easy way to improve your productivity.

It says my processor isn't compatible? Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU - E5400 @ 2.70GHz .............I know it's old, but REALLY? 😭 Can anyone help?

` = Tick or Tic ~ = Tilde Had to throw that in here. 😁

Sure would be nice if this allowed you to add Sets-like tabs to your Explorer windows in Windows 10. Absolutely no one was pissed off when they removed that feature. Nope, no one at all.

~is called tilde

🔝🔝🔝👌

Fanzy zones is nice, MS has to be careful, the more they lock down their OS the more we may as well buy Macs..

I focused watching your beard,

Calculator was a bad example. Because it has this feature built in

✨F✨A✨N✨T✨A✨S✨T✨I✨C✨ 👍🏻🇦🇺

Keyboard Manager just made me boil with rage. I think any programmer will agree with me: *fuck the Hungarian layout* and any layout that has the comma on the numpad decimal key. I had to create and install a whole ass separate layout to be able to use it properly when I had Windows. I would've loved to just remap the single key. I was ready to go through the same thing on Manjaro, but it has the *correct* layout out of the box.

microsoft brought back tabs in file explorer in windows 11 !!!

I actually had to google "Jeffrey Toobin" 🤣🤣

What bums me out the most about Windows 10/11 UI being so locked down is, When Win Vista, and Win 7 came out Microsoft collaborated with Stardock. and had them design both UIs. Stardock are the creators of Windowblinds, CursorXP/FX, Icon Packager, ObjectDock, SkinStudio, and a slew of other UI customization Programs. I think the downhill slope started with Windows "Tiles"... I mean 8. When they decided, "Hey you know what would be awesome? To have desktop PCs look like our crappy phone UI!" Talk about boring, and uninspired. Ever since then Windows has been dog poo for customizing. I'm running Windowblinds on Win 10 right now, and had to reinstall to an earlier version, (20H2) because they dicked with enough things to essentially break even more of what WB can skin. It may sound petulant, and petty, but I refuse to run Win11 just based on these issues alone. I have my system running exactly how I want, with what I have, and disabled all forms of auto updating so I can keep it that way. Newer is not always better. Just ask anyone who's used Photoshop for any length of time, lol.
