You can use the image resizer to quickly change the size of images with a single click and a tool to bulk rename files. The keyboard manager allows you to remap keys and create custom shortcuts. There is also a color picker to find the colors of anything on the screen quickly and much more.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to enhance the Windows experience with more functionalities, you can install PowerToys using the standalone installer from GitHub, Microsoft Store, and Windows Package Manager (winget) command-line tool. Although you can choose any of the methods, I usually find that using the &#8220;winget&#8221; command is the easiest and fastest, allowing you to download the latest stable or preview of the app.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a> will teach you the simple steps to download and install PowerToys on Windows 11 and <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\">Windows 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#install_powertoys_msstore_windows11\">Install PowerToys from Microsoft Store<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#install_powertoys_github_windows11\">Install PowerToys from GitHub<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#install_powertoys_cmd_windows11\">Install PowerToys from winget<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"install_powertoys_msstore_windows11\">Install PowerToys from Microsoft Store<\/h2>\n<p>To install PowerToys on Windows 11 (or 10), use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.microsoft.com\/store\/detail\/XP89DCGQ3K6VLD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open <strong>Microsoft PowerToys<\/strong> page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Get in Store app&#8221;<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>Install<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149169\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/install-powertoys-msstore.webp?resize=827%2C465&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Microsoft Store install PowerToys\" width=\"827\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/install-powertoys-msstore.webp?w=866&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 866w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/install-powertoys-msstore.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/install-powertoys-msstore.webp?resize=150%2C84&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Once you complete the steps, your computer will install the latest stable version of PowerToys.
