Windows has been missing basic features for 30 years. Mac users have had Spotlight, Quick Look, and proper window snapping for over a decade. Windows users have been downloading sketchy third-party tools for every single one. Microsoft knows your Start Menu shows Bing ads. Microsoft knows your search bar opens Edge when Chrome is your default. Microsoft knows you cannot rename 200 files at once. Microsoft knows "this file is in use" never tells you which program. Microsoft knows you cannot extract text from a screenshot. Microsoft's own engineers got tired of knowing. So they built 30 utilities that fix everything Windows got wrong. Then they put it on GitHub instead of putting it in the operating system. They just never told anyone. A billion people use Windows every day. And they all just... live with it. It is called PowerToys. 132,500 stars. Built by Microsoft. Maintained by Microsoft. MIT licensed. Shipped v0.99.1 yesterday. Still not in Windows. Not a third-party hack. Not some sketchy utility pack. Microsoft's own engineers, on Microsoft's own GitHub. Here is what is missing from your operating system: → Command Palette. Spotlight for Windows. One shortcut. Launch anything. → PowerToys Run. Alt Space. Search apps, files, math, the web. No Bing ads. No Edge hijack. → FancyZones. Drag any window into custom screen zones. Any layout you want. → PowerRename. Rename 500 files at once. Search-and-replace or regex. → Text Extractor. Draw a box around any text on your screen. Even inside images. Even inside videos. OCR built in. → File Locksmith. Right-click any locked file. See exactly which program is locking it. Kill the lock. → Color Picker. One shortcut. Click anywhere. HEX, RGB, HSL. → Image Resizer. Right-click. Resize. Batch entire folders. No Photoshop. → Mouse Without Borders. One mouse and keyboard across 4 computers. → Keyboard Manager. Remap any key to any other key. → Peek. Press Space on any file. Preview instantly. Quick Look for Windows. → Always on Top. Pin any window above all others. One shortcut. → Awake. Keep your screen on without touching power settings. → Crop and Lock. Crop any window into a pinned thumbnail. That's 14. There are 16 more. Here's the wildest part: Microsoft built every one of these. Microsoft's own engineers maintain them. Microsoft shipped a release yesterday. None of it ships with Windows. A billion people have been living with a half-finished operating system. The fixes exist. Microsoft made them. And hid them on GitHub. 132,500 stars. 30 utilities. 400 contributors. MIT licensed. Works on Windows 10 and 11. Install in one command: winget install Microsoft.PowerToys Your Windows. Finally complete. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)
