Download PowerToys 0.18.0
Microsoft has released a new version of PowerToys. The PowerToys are a collection of small programs for power users. There were PowerToys for Windows 95 and Windows XP and not too long ago Microsoft also started developing a version for Windows 10. At the moment there are only a limited number of programs in the collection, including FancyZones, Windows key shortcut guide and PowerRename. This release adds PowerToys Run and Keyboard manager. The release notes for this version can be found below.
Release v0.18.0
Our goals for 0.18 release cycle was three big items, PowerToys Run, Keyboard manager, and migrating to the new settings system. This is also the first time we’ll test out the auto-updating system.
Note: After installing, you will have to start PowerToys for the first time. We will improve install experience this moving forward but due to a possible install dependency, we can’t start after install currently.
Feedback is critical. We know there are areas for improvement on PT Run. We would love feedback so we can improve. We also would love to know if you want us to be more aggressive on auto-upgrading.
For the entire commit history, please look at the 0.18 release. Below are just a few of the bullet items from this release.
- New Utilities
- PowerToys Run, our new application launcher (use alt-space to activate)
- Keyboard manager, a quick easy way to remap your keyboard
- Fixed #243‘s setting issue
- Improved performance on FancyZones #1264
- Lots of bug fixes!
