Microsoft PowerToys Update Improve FancyZones And More

Microsoft has released a major update for the Windows 10 PowerToys tool collection. In addition to a number of improvements for FancyZones and PowerToys Run, the end of support for older Windows 10 versions is pending this time.

The new PowerToys version has the number 0.35 and was released as a “stable” version. Users of the tool collection can now try out a new feature for the FancyZones. The development team has now added hotkeys and quick swap functions for user-defined layouts. PowerToys users can now assign a hotkey in the editor and use it to quickly set the zones of a desktop with the key combination Ctrl + Win + Alt + NUMBER, or by pressing the hotkey while dragging a window.

Video conferencing tool moved

Also, has the team announced that the next experimental version will be released as early as next week at 12:36. Incidentally, the previously announced auxiliary tools for video conferences will only come with version 0.36. For example, mute is being considered. With the new update, the tools will only run from Windows 10 version 1903 or higher. In addition to these new features, there are also a number of small improvements and bug fixes.
