🚗 How to use Microsoft PowerToys

[@Knowledge_Nuggies]

"Hi everyone. Kevin here. Tooodaaaaaaaay....." This is how great videos begin!

[@vikramkanth8086]

Love it... Reminds me each time I see his videos...

[@KevinStratvert]

I started using it a while back and now I just stick with it 😁

[@Knowledge_Nuggies]

@@KevinStratvert Stick with it - that's epic brand recognition 8)

Haha my experience begins with 2 20 second long unskippable ads.

[@Bezzi1971]

Excellent tool Kevin ! Two months ago I was creating my company logo, and could not match the colors I wanted, and I was thinking: "There must be a tool that tells you the color code of a color on your screen..so you can replicate it exactly". Now I can fix my company logo to match it exactly the colors I really meant. Thank You ! Very Useful. You nailed it ! U read my mind...

[@zimmejoc]

The power resizer is a feature I’ve been missing since the days of vista. Power renamed is something I’ve wanted every time I need to do photo management. These are amazing. Thank you so much for this video.

[@TylerStanczak]

I love the fancy zones feature. Definitely going to be looking into this more. Thanks Kevin! :)

[@26PRO26]

This is one of the best windows tool I've ever come across! I'm surprised it doesn't come pre-installed with Windows when it really should!

[@MedArtMike03]

I am normally not a huge fan of Microsoft, but these are fantastically useful tools that are going to save me tons of time. Thanks for the overview Kevin!

[@Anisabell2]

I didn't know this, and now I see myself using it a lot! Thanks Kevin, as always you rock 😎😎😎

[@beastplayzz9827]

Who else found kevin randomly and starting watching him

[@FirdausIsmail1]

he has such an awesome and positive personality that comes along with such a crisp and beautifully produced video. Not to mention he's a genius with Windows too! what cant this guy do? lol

[@1eV]

me. i found him through some ms exel video that he made. now, he is just booming.

[@bhighb]

Total random find... glad I did because I never miss a video now!

[@Irfan_ImranKhan]

Me 😊 & now I just love his videos 🇵🇰❤️

[@raghavjani5320]

Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Allellia]

This has been incredibly helpful! Fancy Zones is simple to use. I edited one of the standard layouts to include 9 various sized windows and they are available in the background, just shift/left-click the toolbar of a folder or document and drag/drop it into a pocket🤸‍♀️yeah! Also, Image Resizer is much easier than opening an entire program to re-size pictures! Your video explanation of each PowerToy prompted me to try it. [This solved an annoying on-going issue; working with a "few" files and folders open on my desktop caused me to constantly 🤹‍♀️them around to be accessed.] 🤗Thank you very much Kevin!

[@lawrencepsteele]

I'd forgotten about PowerToys! I used them with Win 95 back in the day. Admittedly TweakUI was what I used the most but other items were useful. I can see me using a number of these new toys. Just like Windows itself, PowerToys have gotten better with time.

[@CryptoDanks]

Shortcut guide is SICK! ctrl V is something i've been needing in my life forever. I thought only phones had it clipboard... wow. GO MICROSOFT! Nice content boss!

[@cdjwmusic]

I've been using Dvorak for about 2 years and the only thing I've hated about it is the fact that I have to use both hands to do copy and paste, since C and V are now on the right side of the keyboard. Because of that I've had to keep qwerty as an alternative and use Win + Space everytime I needed to use shortcut heavy programs (blender for example). I also decided to start using my secondary monitor vertically, and somehow, Microsoft doesn't allow us to stack windows vertically by default, it's so unpractical. Fancyzone is just perfect. This is a game-changer for me. Thank you so much!

[@tdalon]

Just when I wanted to have a look at the powertoys, you make a great video tutorial about it. Great as usual👍❤️

[@areftv9705]

Very nice tool! Thank you. Your every video has explained part by part. That's why your video looks professional. Go ahead.

[@abhijithkalwakol]

I have just got to know about power toys yesterday, and you've made a video today

[@CoolScratcher]

Your voice is so interesting that if you were explaining math it would be intriuging

[@fluttzkrieg4392]

The keyboard manager is so, so amazing. I have a tiny macro keyboard with only 10 keys. I've mapped each key to (Ctrl + F13 to F23). Now I have 10 entirely customizable keys that automatically work differently depending on what I'm doing (e.i. Copy/Paste normally but 6 - 0 when playing a game because these number keys are hard to reach during gameplay).

[@BaresarkSlayne]

Damn, this application is awesome. I always love supporting open source software such as this and this is gonna be a big one for me. I downloaded it for the fancy zones since I'm getting an ultrawide monitor but I was curious about all the other features. Thanks for the great video.

[@preetijain2396]

The video was really great! Got to know about some features of powertoys that I didn't know before!

[@kitara_69]

Thank you so much for featuring this app! This app is so useful and powerful. I couldn't believe that this application is for free!😄

[@tirtharajdas2165]

the "Run" feature is really very useful for me. Thank you

[@myominzaw5781]

Thanks You, Mr.Kevin for making my life easy. God bless you.

[@makislog]

Thumbs up AND commend because you didn't waste our time with fillers. Thanks for the informative video!

[@TheRichardHartog]

Great...forgot about it and it’s way better than the original I used years ago! Thanks for your info Kevin.

[@revertisD365]

I am already a PowerToy fan. I installed it yesterday and I am fully using the tool today. Thank you once again for the great tip!

[@khquah5637]

Thanking Kevin for creating such an informative video.

[@stewardtheteacher]

Power toys is indeed a compendium of essential tools. Thanks so much Kevin for sharing. I look forward to your next video.

[@LearningandTechnology]

Great video! Very helpful set of utilities - thanks for showing this.

[@jadenguyen7432]

Great video! I'll be downloading power toys first thing tomorrow morning

[@jadenguyen7432]

Yep, one day of use so far and I love it.

[@dunrobincourt]

Thank you for your comprehensive and detailed explanation on this application. Several here I see I can make immediate use of... again, thank you. B

[@gotbordercollies]

Been using power toys for years, great video!

[@kshitizkaushik1862]

Is it working fine?

[@danishnexus1321]

hey I want to add powertoys run search bar on desktop home screen .... I want to disable all icons from desktop main screen and only want to add search bar fixed in middle of the screen in desktop ...how can i do it please help

[@adrianrocha49]

So it's completely free? You never had to buy it or anything?

[@olirc]

Omg, absolute good dust. I'd given up on getting a decent colour picker for Windows, and those other apps are awesome! Fantastic, thank you! 😁

[@VictorIsiborReviews]

My KZbin channel is always in the top 5 comments of your channel. Thanks Kevin

[@krishnakishoremalisetty3003]

This is wonderful coverage of PowerToys Mr.Kevin, thank you

[@kevinzhang8974]

such a useful tip for learning this windows program. I will definitely will use it on daily basis. Thank you Kevin!

[@fuffi8550]

this program is insane, when i was doing my own Minecraft texture I was going crazy

[@GabiM3112]

Thank you, that was very helpful.

[@timfdubois]

Tks for the video; all my questions were answered.

[@gracemark5995]

these toys will make mee happy ever. thank you kevin

[@andrew_koala2974]

Kevin Stratvert When you create TimeStamps make sure that the columns align It is clear to see your method is that of a third grader Time stamps are untidy. That means using 00:00 as can be seen on any digital clock you look at, So pay attention to detail. Also leave two or three spaces between the Time Stamp and Tittle name. It is known as white space. Used to void cramping of text. Sign-writers know about it as do [age layout professionals. Like so: ■ Timestamps ■ 00:00 Introduction 00:40 Get & launch PowerToys 01:49 Color Picker 03:20 Fancy Zones window screen snapping 05:45 File Explorer support for SVG & markdown 06:41 Bulk image resizer 08:13 Keyboard manager to remap keys & shortcuts 10:28 Power Rename 11:36 PowerToys Run app launcher 12:17 Shortcut guide 13:03 Wrap up

[@uzaiyaro]

Best thing added since this video is cursor find, by pressing ctrl twice. I know this could be done other ways, but it sucked pretty hard. You can set it to disable itself in game mode, too. You also now have a coffee cup icon which will be self-explanatory-it keeps things awake by ignoring power plans.

[@iamdhruvinshah]

Wow Kevin..Thanks for sharing this

[@Reznov0ps143]

HOLY. Thank you so much senor! Taught me a lot. Im loving windows more than ever!

[@RussellSmith]

Haha love the Toy Story inspired thumbnail! I really need to do a review of PowerToys. It's worth the install for the colour picker alone.

[@minaFbeshay]

Finally spotlight-like on Windows 🤩👏👏 Thank U #PowerToys

[@mystikalrebel]

wow....i just learnt some new skills. thanks

[@ExcelExciting]

Super cool 😎

[@sandroabdelhafith9461]

Your explanations are really good, I love your channel.

[@NOTORIOUS404]

Everything is fine and dandy except for one thing: shortcut guide. Shortcut guide is useful for a while but it seems like it can burn through its usefulness rather quickly. Not sure if it's going to be updated but it it is please take these functionalities into consideration: 1) shortcut pressed (mostly used for video tutorials) - toggle 2) foreground software shortcut guide for other software. I know it's a lot of work keeping it synced with updates for all the possible software out there but maybe offer two versions, official and community. Community should offer the possibility to update it locally and upload it back online so you would have the bulk of the shortcuts and just update it based only on what has changed. You could even combine shortcut guide with keyboard manager. Edit: I thought this was an official channel and I was hoping my suggestions have a chance of making it to an actual update.

[@FeelingENTITLED]

7:55 "SMALL because it's a GOOD SIZE?" Yeah, it won't make you gag.✌

[@franciscomanuel7377]

I loved this video, I'mn learning english and I could understand you quite well. ^_^

[@ffabiang]

These features are awesome, thank you for this video!

[@Dhiyaneshwar_Vlogger_12]

This is fascinating, Kevin! The new updates are awesome now!

[@prakyathshetty1847]

That remapping key helped and saved some $.

[@user-dk9dj9nb4z]

love your videos, its very helpful

[@ibbo1999]

kevin bro , you rocks , you just rock man , oooooh, i wish i would like all your videos 10 times

[@srimannaarayananr5021]

Thank you once again for introducing us to a new tool. Thanks a lot

[@maantunez]

Quite useful. Thanks! By the way, did you know about some application for finding and eliminate duplicate images?

[@ErfMuck]

Hi Kevin, really enjoying your videos. This one in particular is a game changer for me. I have so many files to update the names of and this has proved to be incredibly useful. thank you

[@gordol66]

I really like Power Toys.

[@keekwai2]

Thanks for letting the world know that, Jeffrey.

[@hussainfawzer]

Great content. I love the way you talk

[@swaddlraph8410]

for those who dont know the procces name of chrome its is Chrome.exe. u need the process name for the apps part in keymapping!

[@Munneke1962]

Thanks for your video Kevin!

[@sim9955]

A windows power user/youtuber.... i subscribe! great video!

[@balamuruganmanickam1432]

Super really helpful.,

[@mysterychemical]

You should make a playlist on this PowerToys and address any new updates every few months or when new major update arrives.

[@onexl001]

Thanks for sharing this tool

[@aakarsh12]

I have a numberpad on my Legion, and gamers don't use that stuff. Well, a large macro layout sure does sound good, I'll see if I can map my macro shortcuts to those.

[@RajendraPatel.]

Funtastic channel ❤️❤️👌🏼

[@TomTerrific]

I'd like to see you cover file backup. Thanks - nice video.

[@aaronjunker]

Good tutorial. I like the thumbnail. Thats a toy story reference, am I right?

[@KevinStratvert]

It is 😁

[@phiranklinrogas1407]

I am a Fan Of You From Sri Lanka

[@meycheltriarlions8100]

Shortcut guide will be very useful if it also give you shortcut not related to windows key, plus app spesific shortcut

[@Aalok464]

;1st comment, 1st like, 1st View. Wonderful nice video. I love your videos. I watch everyday at dot 4:30. Your channel is best for computer tutorials. Go on Kevin.

[@DiCaverSolution]

Hi Kevin, love your videos and I follow you for some time now. I've checked some your old videos but couldn't find anything about "dummy users" or. (maybe) "tenant". You use them (I think) all the time and inviting them to the meetings 🙂 ... can you make a video, how to make and use "dummy users"? Thx! Keep on good work 🍺

[@EvenIdidnotknowbefore]

thanks man it really helped me

[@sebassanchezc-1379]

goood video. will start to use it more and more of power toys

[@TabletPro]

would you consider doing a review of the tools for windows tablets in Tablet Pro STUDIO? They are unique tools you can't find anywhere else. Interesting content and makes using desktop apps much much easier with pen and touch. comparable to keyboard and mouse speeds. Thank you Kevin

[@notanenglishperson9865]

Color picker is very useful

[@OmGupta]

Kevin please make a tutorial and tips and tricks of Google maps and windows maps

[@KevinStratvert]

Yes! I love Google & Windows maps. I'll pull something together soon.

[@MonikaR2006]

Just what I need. Thank. Those fancy zones is a real assest but I simply cannot get it work. You show in your video to click and hold a window and press SHIFT. That does not do anything with me. Any suggestions, please? Thank you.

[@mdrahathossain9934]

Your voice sounds amazing.

[@alan93]

pressing and holding windows key does not open a short cut guide. you now have to turn a feature on in the app to do that. Isn't there a way to assign an app to a key? Like launch calculator on F12? My old keyboard had a calc key on it by my new one does not.

[@BROOOOOOKFIELDDDDDDD]

Hello, Are there any free tools that remove duplicate photos? Can't find any software that doesn't charge a decent amount for the removal process.

[@KevinStratvert]

I'll add to my list and investigate.

[@affacua]

Great. Thanks Kevin

[@cristo2241]

THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU !!!!

[@nadeemakramansari1331]

You didn't setup the general tab. Just tell me is it ok to use it as admin ?

[@balamuruganmanickam1432]

Can you make video about excel related automatic report preparation

[@aviralmishraofficial1626]

Awesome video Kevin

[@lokeshsairam8300]

What was the key I need to use to select specific zone for any window to avoid selecting 2 or more zones while dragging the window

[@jesus.moreno]

cool man ... I will install it right now .. thank you Kevin

[@Abdallah..................]

Thank you as usual

[@elwattarbiology]

Thanks bro!❤️

[@abu_molhum]

Awesome! Thank you Kevin.

[@georgestephens2038]

zones might be useful for maybe stock brokers and anyone who is into stock market

[@Kuj]

awesome tools. I can't believe I've been daily driving windows for this long without these. Is there a way to get the edge snapping to work instead of having to hold shift to activate fancy zones? I'd love to just replace the default windows snapping entirely

[@bobby_6455]

When I'm using it, watching KZbin video and doing another task, I can't open KZbin video on full mode? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

[@arjunb3110]

Thanks A Lot For This Video

[@gadisuribabu221]

Oh thanks brother by the way like your intro

[@MohamedAlGohary]

Great walkthrough, but what is "DvorJack" at 8:54 ? It's Dvorak attributed to its creator August Dvorak
