PowerToys 0.91.1 Released
The latest update of PowerToys, version 0.91.1, addresses several stability issues identified in version 0.91. This patch release is tailored to enhance user experience by resolving critical bugs based on user feedback and incoming reports. Key fixes in this update include improvements to the command palette, workspaces, and quick accent functionality.
Key Improvements:
- Command Palette: The update resolves a regression that caused the command palette to operate under elevated permissions, which affected its functionality for non-admin users. Additionally, it fixes launch failures of extensions when PowerToys is running in admin mode.
- Workspaces: A critical regression that omitted support for command-line options when launching classic Win32 applications (such as Microsoft Edge and Chrome) has been rectified.
- Quick Accent: The functionality requiring users to hold the activation key during the "Input delays" period for accent selection has been improved. Now, users only need to hold the key after activation, simplifying the process.
Installer Information:
- The update is available for different architectures including per user installations for x64 and ARM64, as well as machine-wide installations for both architectures. Each installer comes with a unique SHA256 hash for verification.
Conclusion:
PowerToys continues to evolve with user feedback, making it a robust tool for enhancing productivity on Windows. Version 0.91.1 not only improves existing features but also ensures greater stability and ease of use for its users. For a comprehensive list of changes, refer to the full release notes for version 0.91.0.
As PowerToys progresses, future updates are likely to introduce even more features and enhancements, further solidifying its position as an essential suite of utilities for Windows users
