This is one of the most comprehensive PowerToys overviews I have seen. Thank you! I remember using it on Windows 95 and 98. It certainly has come a long way since then.
Great video - I use quite a few of these. Two other tips: 1) File Locksmith - checks which files are in use.. useful especially to see what is blocking a disk from being ejected or what files a process is locking. 2) Powertoys Run - has many uses. I use it to quickly launch apps and files, as a quick calculator, starting/stopping services, finding registry keys and more The power renamer is also good but takes a bit of work to get into.
Wow! That was like being shown Aladdin's cave, full of treasures. I've already downloaded it and now tweaking it for what I need. Thank you so much for this - very useful indeed.
This is excellent to see. I had totally forgotten about PowerToys and used to have it as part of my standard toolkit back in the day. Thank you for such a great presentation on it overall, as well as going in depth on some of the most commonly used tools.
oh leila thank you so much. i read an article about this but suffice it to say this makes things much clearer! i have been scouring the internet for something like fancy zones and can't wait to try it. thanks for sharing!
I am a data analyst and work on a 50 inch 4k TV as my monitor. It would be a huge pain if I didn't have Fancy Zones. It's so incredible! I have a bunch of different layouts that I can activate with hotkeys depending on what I'm working on.
I have known about Powertoys for years. But I do not use them often. You explain their usefulness in a crystal clear way, calm and to the point. Thank you!
It should be noted that if you install Power Toys, it will significantly increase your boot time at start-up. For me, it added 24 seconds from power on to Windows Desktop screen. I don't really use that much but will keep the software for future use. Thanks
I have always loved power toys and they change how I use windows. Truthful I thought it had been discontinued. Thanks for showing the updated toys! I used to use always on top exactly like you to keep my stickies where I can see them.
I wish she would have told us about the margin toggle switch with fancy zones. It took a while to turn them off. Thank you Leila! I appreciate all you do! I bought 3 of your MS Power courses!
Thank you, Leila, for this in-depth tutorial. I've been using power toys for a while and am attempting to demonstrate them to coworkers. As I need to do a lot of online training, I use the Focus on the mouse the most. The list of shortcuts is one I was unaware of. I'm familiar with some of them, but this is such a creative way to present them. Thank you very much...
I used to download separate software to pin any window on top of another. After knowing powertoys some moons ago, it really have awesome features. My top feature is Always ontop and mouse utilities.
Fabulous! Didn't even know these existed. Love it when find new features. Already loving the 'Always on top'. Much appreciated for the video. Thank you.
I already used the Find my mouse in combination with the CTRL-radar, the Windows+V (multi-clipboard, the Paste as Text. I will probably use the Pick color and the Keep in front a lot! Thanks for the great presentation!
Just curious - do you have some software that kalibrated or changes the color/hue of the screen? 'cus I know that Color Picker is (usually) nor able to poke throught the altered colors...
I can't believe I never heard of PowerToys before, what an useful set of tools, when we install Windows Microsoft prefer to advertise some third-party apps than it's own useful software lol. Thank you very much, I'm so glad I found this video.
I personally use the mouse finder during PowerPoint presentations for a better looking way to show things (IMO it looks much better than the default red dot pointer).
First Leila I want to say thank you. Not only are you knowledgable but you have a beautiful demeanor & calming presence about you. I love your tutorials. You are my first "Go To" person whenever I have a problem that I need help with. Today, I have a simple request. Where do you get your sticky notes? The colored ones are not me. Actually, anyone can answer if you know the answer. Thanks to All
extremely grateful for this ! Obviously always on top is really helpful, but extracting text from photos excites me. People screenshot me daily and this will reduce my time significantly! Thank you for all you do!
One of my favorite tools is the samradapps excel date picker, which let's you pick up dates in an excel sheet. MS haven't added something like this for decades which I don't understand.
I am glad that the PowerToys are back, at least I think they were taken away some years ago. I am definitely going to add them to my toolbox! Thanks Leila. Happy holidays!
For screenshots - SHAREX (select area, file is saved, folder with file selected is open). For images FastStone Image Viewer (you hit F3 and mass resize, change format, add items and many many more all in seconds). I mostly use resize to 50% selected in FastStone.

اجر وعافية اخت ليلى 👩🏻⚕️
Hope you are feeling better - everything sounded fine!
Dziękujemy.
Thank you!

Thank you Craig.
This was an amazing presentation of something that has been hidden in plain sight!!
They actually abandoned it and only brought it back a couple years ago. It's on github now.
And it's still under construction
Great video. But they have some bugs in a few features. I hope they will fix them soon.
This should be by default on Windows !
But it's not...I bought a new laptop with windows 11 and still needed to download it.
You have this in KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon since ages.
It will be...in a couple of years
Great video - I use quite a few of these. Two other tips:
1) File Locksmith - checks which files are in use.. useful especially to see what is blocking a disk from being ejected or what files a process is locking.

Thank you Leila 🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊
Never knew these PowerToys! Thank you Leila for this quick tutorial to get started! 🙂I will use them now on.
I, too, had played with these years ago and dismissed them. This video has me excited. Thank you!
I'm curious what will be your favorite.

Awesome! I used to use Deskpins to keep a window on top but will switch to this now.
Those are interesting utilities. Thanks for posting. Feel better soon and Happy Holidays.
Thank you! Same to you!
Great video, thanks !
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this simple explanation
OMG. I have been using 3rd party apps for all these features. You gave me a single solution for all these. Really helpful. Thanks
Most welcome 😊
Definitely trying!
I have known about Powertoys for years. But I do not use them often. You explain their usefulness in a crystal clear way, calm and to the point. Thank you!
Thanks for this video , A lot of useful short cut keys were presented here
Thank you so much!! Never knew and now I do!!! :)
You're amazing🤩✨✨!!!
Thank you for making great videos💗💗💗!!
WOW, that is amazing. I’m in need of few already. Thank you so much.
I love utilities like this. I look forward to learning more about what it does.
It should be noted that if you install Power Toys, it will significantly increase your boot time at start-up.
For me, it added 24 seconds from power on to Windows Desktop screen.
I don't really use that much but will keep the software for future use. Thanks
Well don’t have it run on startup then.
@@oo0Spyder0oo Nope, not now. It's set up to do that by default.
I have been using image resize for years as a stand alone plugging, but I didn't knew the other tools, thanks a lot!
My pleasure, Karina.

Useful, facy zones, ocr and mouse tools ftw!
Amazing video again, Leila. Thank you so much ❤
My life is getting easier with every video you upload thanks ❤
I love your channel. You always have very useful information.
Instant subscribe and it's my regret not having subscribed so far... Many thanks!
Glad to have you aboard!
Great Tool, Thanks for sharing I think Always on top and Bulk image resize will help me.
Excelent set of tools, thanks for sharing!👍
One of the best tutorial on UA-cam, thank you
Wow, thanks!
That's amazing I should try this 👍
I used to download separate software to pin any window on top of another. After knowing powertoys some moons ago, it really have awesome features. My top feature is Always ontop and mouse utilities.
👍
The always on top is a real game changer! Especially if you are using a touch screen applications.
Fabulous! Didn't even know these existed. Love it when find new features. Already loving the 'Always on top'. Much appreciated for the video. Thank you.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Thanks 🧡 a great sharing :)
Window Walker is quite useful. Helps me find out opened application. It's much quicker than win+tab or alt+tab when you have too many apps open.
I already used the Find my mouse in combination with the CTRL-radar, the Windows+V (multi-clipboard, the Paste as Text. I will probably use the Pick color and the Keep in front a lot! Thanks for the great presentation!
Your videos are so professional! Well done!
I had no idea. This will change the way I work. ! Thank you
Wow so many useful features! Thanks as always!!
Fancy zones and always on top are my favorites since they make multitasking easier...
👍
Wow it's really grown up since the old days. Thanks for reminding me of this!
👍
life changing!!! thank you leila! 💗💗
My pleasure!

I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking the time to share them!
Thank you Madam, its always enriching to watch your videos, I am learning a lot about MS OFFICE
I've been using Fancy Zones for 6 months or so and LOVE it!!
It's awesome!
these are some great tools, thanks for sharing :)
I personally loved the Color Picker, it helps a lot in my job as a developer
Just curious - do you have some software that kalibrated or changes the color/hue of the screen? 'cus I know that Color Picker is (usually) nor able to poke throught the altered colors...
Brilliant & Thank You
Oh wow. Thanks for the informative video. I've been wishing for some of those features for years.
I was using fancy zones for awhile but boy did I miss a lot of useful stuff for many years. Thanks
Fantastic tools
Thanks Leila 😊
You had me at mouse finder (I literally needed that 5 minutes before I started this video) and fancy zones sealed the deal. Thanks for this.
Hi Leila. They are so much clearer when properly explained - thank you.
Super for giving this utility. I have started using it right now.
Excellent!
You made my life so easier, always on top was something i needed for a long time. Thank you very much
Glad I could help!
Thank you for another well made instructional video. You make it very easy to follow and your accent is great as well.
Thank you very much!

You are genius Leila Gharani. I appreciated your tips for windows and other application programs.
Loved this video - so many goodies with PowerToys
That's an amazing video. Thank you for your effort.
Just wanted to say Thank you. I've been meaning to get into power toys for some time and I love how succinct and relevant you made it. Great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks! Can't wait to try

Personal fave is definitely fancyzones! Thanks so much @Leila!

It is really cool tool, Thank Lelia.

I've used windows for years, knew about, but never used Power Toys. I will know. Great video!

Great VID about tools, You looks like a superstar.😁
Thank you for your videos about tools.
For screenshots - SHAREX (select area, file is saved, folder with file selected is open). For images FastStone Image Viewer (you hit F3 and mass resize, change format, add items and many many more all in seconds). I mostly use resize to 50% selected in FastStone.
I already used some of the "toys", but your explanations revealed some hidden features I've not discovered yet.
