If you’ve never tried PowerToys, you’re missing one of Windows’ most powerful add-ons. It’s a free Microsoft toolset designed to make daily tasks faster and easier.

Here are a few must-try PowerToys tools:

• FancyZones – Create custom window layouts for multitasking.
• PowerRename – Rename multiple files in seconds.
• File Locksmith – See which app is locking a file so you can close it.
• Keyboard Manager – Remap keys and create shortcuts.
• Color Picker – Instantly grab color codes from your screen.

You can download PowerToys from the Microsoft Store or GitHub. Once installed, it runs quietly in the background, giving you productivity superpowers you never knew existed.

This is one of those rare “pro tools” that’s genuinely useful for everyday users too.
