Microsoft published PowerToys Preview v0.102.2883.0, as a preview-channel pre-release built from the stable branch rather than the final 0.102 stable build. The headline feature is opt-in, fully offline snip dictation in ZoomIt, letting you capture a screenshot with a spoken description that gets transcribed locally and pasted together in one action. Peek also gains plain-text fallback previews and multi-file, multi-folder command-line support, while Command Palette, Keyboard Manager, and Settings pick up a batch of quality-of-life fixes including a long-standing memory-leak fix.
