Microsoft is relaunching the PowerToys for Windows 10 and 11. The pre-release version 0.67 is currently available. COMPUTER BILD explains all functions.
The PowerToys are a collection of tools from Microsoft. The software classic originally appeared for Windows 95 and included the legendary TweakUI tool, which for the first time made hidden Windows settings available with a mouse click.

It wasn't until 2019 that the manufacturer made fans' hearts beat faster again - when it relaunched the PowerToys for Windows 10 . Since then, the developers have been constantly distributing new pre-release versions with improvements and bug fixes on Github . The software now also runs under Windows 11 including Windows on ARM . Read here how to install and use the PowerToys.
