PowerToys 0.98.1 released
Microsoft pushed out PowerToys 0.98.1 as a necessary patch to stop the crashes that plagued version 0.98.0. The Command Palette finally gets its act together with fixes for context menus and visual blinking artifacts. Always On Top now allows users to configure opacity hotkeys independently from the main pin function for better workflow control. Finally, the Keyboard Manager Service toggle was removed temporarily because stability matters more than features right now.
