Where PowerToys fits

Choose it when a recurring desktop task needs a shortcut, layout tool or small enhancement.

Check before you choose

Enable only the modules you use and check for conflicts with existing keyboard shortcuts.

Find the right edition

Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.

Compare the workflow

Identify the problem before installing a utility. File search, remote support, hardware inspection and bootable media preparation need different permissions and can affect the computer in different ways.
