The latest preview build of PowerToys, version 0.101.2572.0, introduces the long-requested Auto Hide Cursor feature, which hides the cursor after keyboard input or inactivity and restores it with mouse movement. It also adds support for deploying Keyboard Manager remappings programmatically through Windows Desired State Configuration, allowing IT admins to manage key mappings without needing to restart PowerToys. Additionally, the update includes improvements to the Power Display tool for reordering profiles, as well as various bug fixes for features like Quick Accent and Advanced Paste. This pre-release is intended for testers, with multiple installer options available on GitHub, and is not recommended for stable production use

PowerToys v0.101.2572.0, the latest preview build released today, introduces a long-requested Auto Hide Cursor feature that hides the pointer after keyboard input or inactivity and restores it on movement. It also adds DSC v3 profile deployment for Keyboard Manager, letting IT admins push key and shortcut remappings across fleets without a restart. The update includes Power Display profile reordering plus a batch of fixes for Quick Accent, Advanced Paste, the Command Palette, and Mouse Without Borders. As a pre-release with four installer variants available now on GitHub, it targets testers rather than stable production use.
