In the recent past, we’ve seen Microsoft add a ton of nifty features to PowerToys, for instance, the File Locksmith, settings backup, and a hosts file editor that were part of theversion 0.64 release. And now, Microsoft seems to be working on a new feature, just like Windows 11’s Quick Settings launcher, this new feature will let users access utilities within the app.

PowerToys’ quick launcher will in turn make it easier for users to manage these tools, as it presents activated modules that can be accessed via the launcher. What’s more, it will present a neater and more focused general outlook of the app as it will hide the disabled modules. Here’s an illustration of how it is supposed to work:

Per GitHub’s specifications, here are PowerToys’ quick launcher functionalities:

The feature is still in the works, and it might be a while before it hits general availability. Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
