More info here: PowerToys Run (previously Window Walker) Now within the application you can see what context it is running under, along with the option to have it always run as administrator. In order for PowerToys to be able to work with applications that ran as an Administrator, PowerToys itself will need to be running as an Administrator. PowerToys Run (previously Window Walker)Īlso new to PowerToys is the ability to detect if PowerToys has been run in User mode or Administrator mode.Included in the current release (as of this writing v0.18.2) there are 7 available PowerToys: You can download the installer at the same location at GitHub. Microsoft is looking for contributions to it from developers along with any feedback there. Now on version 0.18.2 we have some more toys to play with. Once again, as with everything Microsoft, PowerToys has received some updates.

When I started writing about PowerToys, there were only 3 toys in the bunch.
