Windows Powertoys A Must-Have Addition To Your Windows Machine In the Product review, I will be checking out Windows Powertoys A Must-Have Addition To Your Windows Machine. Windows Powertoys A Must-Have Addition To Your Windows Machine is truly a must-have! once you have tried it You will ask yourself how did you ever survive without it for so long! Powertoys does not only speed up your workflow in one particular area but in several areas of your daily work play routine. It's crazy to me that these features are not on windows from the get-go they absolutely should be in my opinion! https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys The features I personally use the most are - Fancy Zones = Tile your windows in an efficient way on your monitor, and customizable! - PowerToys Run = by pressing [alt+spacebar] you can now search for whatever you like and run it by pressing enter. just like on MacOS spotlight search. - Power Rename = Is a very handy feature if you need to batch rename files or folders - File explorer = Lets you preview thumbnails of .SVG files this is amazing! It has more options like remapping of keyboard shortcuts, batch resizing images, and the ability to very quickly get a color picker up so you can get the color code without screenshotting it and taking it into your favorite photo editor to get the code.
