As someone who works as open source contributor for PowerToys I want to thank you for this awesome video and showing your community the awesome new features we incorperated into PowerToys. ❤️

@nosuchthing8 Год назад

Do you also work on the Spyware built into the power toys

@dawnrazor Год назад

I was hoping that powertoys would also include a tool for detecting which process is preventing an external hard disk from being ejected. Is there one?

@aaronjunker Год назад

@@nosuchthing8 PowerToys is an official Microsoft product. What exactly do you mean by spyware.

@aaronjunker Год назад

@@dawnrazor currently there's none, but we have an open feature request in our repository.

@nosuchthing8 Год назад

@@aaronjunker you know EXACTLY what I mean. I'm assuming they out something in it to spy on people. MS is famous for spying on people. For one, the government demands it in one way or another. Some people have tried to make super secure email programs and the US government always gets involved to water ot down.

@AlejandroFerrariMc Год назад

I love that PowerToys are still a thing, I had always thought they should be a part of Windows itself, since Win 95.

@arghya_333 Год назад

I am baffled they didn't include it in windows 11, I thought they were beta testing it as an open source app or something that already feels so native.

@enes_karaca Год назад

@@arghya_333 some of the features of powertoys actually got integrated in to windows 11. Like the window positioning thing that appears when you hover your mouse over maximize/minimize window button on the top left of windows.

@nosuchthing8 Год назад

I assume they have Spyware embedded in them. And want to control the numbers of people using it.

@bossssss Год назад

I agree, got it about a month ago for the first time and has up my productivity level onto another level. Where I can grab a text and paste on word is so powerful.

@bnielsen7000 Год назад

Yeah! - But these tools here are not actual powertoys, nothing more than simple utilities.

@mohanadoo Год назад

For the Text Extractor one note I want to mention is that if you are using multiple languages in your system like me (Arabic, English) you have to change the keyboard language first to English to extract English text and change it to Arabic if I want to extract an Arabic text. I Hope this is useful ✋❣

5:24 .gcode and .stl are files often used in 3d printing and other computer aided manufacturing processes

@iwannet69 Год назад

That was i going to say

@RAFAEL60160 Год назад

5:34 Geometric Code and Stereolitography are files used in 3D Printing. Geometric code (.gcode) is the file ready to print with all settings and Stereolitoghapy (.stl) is the 3D model itself. Slicing software like Unimaker Cura reads stl files and ajust them and save as gcode, to use on 3D Printers

@Pbli Год назад

In the Color Picker when you mouse scroll you can zoom in, so you can pick the color more precise👍

@JustTheJames Год назад

I have had powertoys installed for ages and I had no idea they added so much new stuff recently, some of this will be really useful

@asadfarraj Год назад

I've been using PowerToys since that old video you made. It's been extremely useful for niche situations, since you wouldn't really be using it every day, but since it is quite small, you would be glad you had it when you need it.

@SemNikit Год назад

Useful information! I was tired of looking up and pasting special symbols when learning a new language. But now is becomes easier

@sjay4673 Год назад

Thanks for this great PowerToys overview, ThioJoe! Keep up the great content! 👍

Text extractor is amazing. Dunno what Ill use it for, but I love it.

@Tetriser Год назад

I have been using LockHunter to find what's using one file, glad to see PowerToys finally included the same kind of tool

@jaxonterrill8416 Год назад

Great video. I love powertoys. I am so confused about why they aren't already in windows automatically. This makes it so much less common and less popular. Also I love Thio Joe.

@AmyGrrl78 Год назад

I've been using PowerRename for several years now. One of my favourite features. Has saved me so much time.

@Darkosa1234 Год назад

woooooooooooooooooow.... sir these tools are mind blowing. i had such a hard time getting the pixels correct from web pages n the color codes. Also the other utility application, this video just made my day.... thank you sir....

@ashr Год назад

I've been using PowerToys since release (mostly for FancyZones). Thanks for showing off the new features that I don't really look into. Accents will be the most useful I think. Also PowerToys has come a long way since launch. The apps are much more stable than they used to be.

@TriforceofShadows Год назад

Same here, FancyZones is a must.

@Ramon314 Год назад

@@TriforceofShadows since win11, what are the best advantages of FancyZones? I am a user of PowerToys for quite a while, but I have never really used FancyZones.

@kavishbansal Год назад

@@Ramon314 you can make custom window layouts to snap your windows on your screen. It's like the built-in Windows snap system. But you can customise this to your own liking.

@TriforceofShadows Год назад

@@Ramon314 I'm still rocking Windows 10. 😅

@ashr Год назад

@@Ramon314 I use a large format display. 4k 49 inch display. Regular snapping is not enough for how I want things placed. In general, if you want any different type of snapping, you can do it with FancyZones

@Mlaprades Год назад

Yeah I remember power toys from back in the day. Totally forgot about that. I'm glad to see it still being utilized and improved. Yay!

@hollowinside9435 Год назад

I have been using PowerToys for a while now and the Run and Always On Top are soooo goood! and the Color Picker comes in clutch as I am a digital artist and developer.

@czebosak Год назад

I originally downloaded it just for the color picker, because I use it often when I need to design something, but I started using more of the features. It turns out that some of them can be sometimes really useful, most of the features here should be included in Windows

@DanielGonzalezL Год назад

PowerToys' color picker is a lifesaver. Da true GOAT

@michelpomerantzeff1749 9 месяцев назад

@dave_n8pu Год назад

I used to have Power Toys on my computer years ago, but forgot about them, thanks for the reminder.

@jeremiahlyleseditor437 Год назад

Great Find Thio Thanks Again

@Wingedshadowwolf Год назад

If you go into the regular advanced mouse settings in Windows, there is a simple version of the find my mouse. I think hitting the ctrl key is the only option and it makes a little circle appear around your pointer(even if the pointer is not visible on screen for whatever reason)

@Splarkszter Год назад

And it's even open source. LOVE IT!!! installed it right now.

@davidjin8147 Год назад

@ThomasFarmer21 Год назад

PowerToys Awake is great on laptops when downloading large files. Setting the computer to remain awake for an hour while keeping the screen off is an easy way to save battery during large downloads without having to go into Windows settings.

@ahmedalhassani1801 11 месяцев назад

Informative video. very useful, Thank you !!

@ShadowVipers Год назад

.gcode is used for 3d printing & .stl is a 3d model format which also is commonly used in 3d printing. Needless to say I love that it offers previews of those files.

@benjamintan2733 Год назад

Thanks. This is quite an eye opener.

@mathesonstep Год назад

Great video, I have been using PowerToys on and off but now it seems really useful. Also Geometric code or gcode, is for use with 3d printers or CNC, think of it like a list of coordinates. Also for Video Conference Mute it looks like they are adding or have added a similar functionality right into Windows 11 thus why I would assume its being marked as legacy

@phillipgilligan8168 Год назад

I havent seen one of your videos in a lonnnnnnng time. Funny to see you serious as opposed to trolling with a straight face (loved that btw gagged a lot of my friends back in the day). Cool man, well just popping by, guess I will now need to start paying attention to your videos so I did miss stuff :p

@Pro720HyperMaster720 Год назад

3:49 And if you really want to (was useful to me in a project) you can disable or change the color of the outline I you want the always on top app to look as any other app or simply have the outline in another color you prefer

That File Locksmith tool may prove useful. I'll have to try that soon. But, I was hoping to see a review of the Fancy Zones tool. Is that on a previous video?

@ashuggtube Год назад

Hosts file editor! Finally! 😊

@BenK1122 Год назад

I use FancyZones all day every day at work. I have one of my monitors as a dashboard of sorts. I have Outlook, Teams, our phone panel, status board, and lobby camera all on the screen at the same time. They all go exactly where I want them overlapping perfectly.

@wirechair Год назад

the crosshair thing is SUPER useful for presenting or showing stuff in excel as it essentially gives leader lines to the rows and columns

@W7WIL Год назад

Wow, this is awesome; I might actually be able to use Windows to do the things that have been built into Mac OS for a long time that I often miss.

@FireflyMykah Год назад

FancyZones is also really good, customizable window layouts are really good for multiple monitors or an ultrawide monitor! Definitely worth getting to mess around with.

I've been playing with power toys since windows the windows 95 Plus Pack. TweakUI was always my favourite.

@davinp Год назад

If you have PowerToys installed, go to settings and click install update. It is a good idea to keep it updated. On my PC it will notify a new version is available and ask to install the update

@nakdickson Год назад

File locksmith might be my new favourite power toys feature. I hate how I need to reboot my PC just to delete some random file.

@HayTatsuko Год назад

I am looking forwards to using the Color Picker -- no more screenshotting images with interesting hues and having to open up my paint software, just to get the color. I can see myself using the Text tool a bunch, as well as the accent thinger.

@ddylan4cats Год назад

I never knew that these existed until now, and I actually find them quite useful. My favorite tools are Always on Top and Text Extractor. In fact, if you have PowerToys installed, you can even use the Text Extractor tool to copy the text from my comment! (don't be afraid to...)

@thedigitallens Год назад

Power toys is such a useful tool. Love this addition to win 11

@byCDMC Год назад

Text Extractor is good when you want to copy bunch of text from a PDF file, cause for some reason sometimes you can't copy text normally from a PDF file

@MegasXLR Год назад

This is the same as GoodLock but for Windows! Will definitely use the Lock smith one, very handy indeed :)

@aceae4210 Год назад

personally what I use in power toys the most is always on top, awake (it lets my laptop stay on but with the screen fully off until an interaction) and the keyboard manager what I use the keyboard manager for is to let me change the cap lock key into a mute key also made it so ctrl+s acts like ctrl+w on my main browser the always on top tool is probably the most used one (or the keyboard manager thinking about it) as it lets me just do a hotkey and it will just stay on the screen very good tools which helps out in the small things(though now I have adapted to changing the volume with a four finger swipe up and down)

My wife, who is fluent in Spanish, is constantly frustrated at not having accents easily available. I had a great tool in Windows XP and Windows 7, but it was no longer supported in Win Vista+. Quick Accent will be very nice for her.

@fsaldan1 Год назад

She can also install a Spanish keyboard or alternatively an American/Spanish keyboard. I installed an American/Portuguese keyboard and switch between it and the regular American English keyboard hitting the Windows Key/Spacebar combination. Very easy.

When downloading the app from the Microsoft Store it does install the latest version of the app, the store app version details section might not be up to date but the app itself seems to be updated accordingly based on the latest release.

Thanks for this video Joe. Great information. I have a question that might be a little off topic but deals with the Windows 10. On my laptop running Windows 10 I'm having problems with the windows photo app especially with the video section where your supposed to be able to obtain a screenshot from a video that you have playing, amongst other buggy things happening. Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall the windows photo app or would have to reinstall Windows all together?
