Unfortunately Microsoft discontinued PowerToys long time back and none of them works in Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems. Surprisingly many of these PowerToys also work in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. Some of them are Winter Fun Wallpaper Changer, Image Resizer, Clear Type Tuner, Calculator Plus, Virtual Desktop Manager, ISO Image Burner, etc. Microsoft also released various other PowerToys for Windows 95 and XP. No existing tweaking utility can match the good ol’ TweakUI tool. You can consider TweakUI as an amazing tweaking tool for Windows OS. It was an excellent portable tool for Windows which allowed tweaking and customizing Windows appearance (UI) and functionality. The best and most popular PowerToy released for Windows 95 and XP was TweakUI. Microsoft released PowerToys to enhance Windows 95/XP functionality and add new interesting features to the OS. PowerToys were very useful and free tools/utilities released by Microsoft for Windows 95 and Windows XP operating systems. If you have used or still using Windows 95 or Windows XP operating systems in some of your older computers, you might be very well aware of PowerToys programs. If you don't like the new Start Menu or hell, even if you do, you have to try PowerToys Run.UPDATE: New PowerToys version 0.69.1 available for Windows 10 and Windows 11 which comes with various improvements, minor changes and bug fixes. It takes a little training to stop yourself from using a mouse to open files and apps, but once you get your brain thinking that way, it's much more efficient.

PowerToys Run sounds like a power user tool, and it is, but it's also perfectly accessible to the average person. Of course, any of these plugins you don't want, simply turn them off.

All apps can be run as administrator from within the results or send the path straight to your terminal. It has a built-in calculator, a unit converter, even access to basic shell features and registry search. In my experience though, PowerToys Run has become so good that I don't need to see more than three results and it'll have found what I'm looking for.

If you want to only see a few results, you can decrease this, or increase it if you want to see more. More so even than that, you have complete control over the results you get in PowerToys Run. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central)
