PowerToys offers several handy tools for specific use cases, but two very popular ones are FancyZones, which lets you rearrange your window layout to run multiple apps on one screen, and PowerToys Run, which is a Spotlight-like launcher that includes quick search for apps and files in Windows. What are the two most useful tools in PowerToys? Microsoft created PowerToys for power users looking for a bit more personalization and tweakability. PowerToys are smaller add-ons or utilities that can enhance and customize your Windows experience. Microsoft keeps adding utilities to the suite, however the 12 main tools are: Always on Top, PowerToys Awake, Color Picker, FancyZones, File Explorer add-ons, Image Resizer, Keyboard Manager, PowerRename, Mouse Utilities, PowerToys Run, Shortcut Guide, and Video Conference Mute. Inspired by the Windows 95 era PowerToys project, this reboot provides power users with utilities to squeeze more out of the Windows 10 shell and customize it for their individual workflows. So if you know that you have an area of a window or program you don't use, you can set a specific region to overlap with another, maximizing your screen real-estate.PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity. FancyZones custom layouts also allow you to create overlapping zones. One of FancyZones biggest draws, especially for those working with larger screens, is the customizable screen Snap Layouts. Furthermore, FancyZones has one tool that Snap Layouts doesn't (yet): customizable templates. While FancyZones requires an additional download, it is still a Microsoft tool (and open-source one at that). The six layouts currently available to Windows 11 users aren't much, but we would expect that functionality to rise in the future (not forgetting that Windows 11 is still very much in development). The integration of Snap Layouts directly into Windows 11 undoubtedly makes it easier to use and is a productivity boost, which is, of course, a massive plus.
Now, the big question for many Windows users is whether Microsoft's Snap Layouts integration is better than PowerToys FancyZones, the tool that inspired the updated Snap functionality.
