Software update: PowerToys 0.23.2

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, PowerRename, PowerToys Run and Keyboard Manager. The video conferencing utility, which was present in the test versions, is not yet in this release, but is expected to make an appearance in version 0.25.
