Back in the days of Windows 95, Microsoft began working on PowerToys, a set of productivity tools for the operating system designed to save users time. Microsoft abandoned this project for many years, until finally, a few years ago, we started seeing a version that was gradually improved with Windows 10.
The current Microsoft PowerToys package includes some interesting tools for Windows that we've discussed before , such as image resizing, a keyboard manager, a color picker, and advanced renaming. And if you already have Windows 11 on your computer, you're probably wondering how to get PowerToys.
