Microsoft has just released version 0.16 of their new PowerToys for Windows 10.
PowerToys is a set of utilities which was introduced by Microsoft first in Windows 95. This was to let users modify some of the trickiest settings without having any knowledge about Windows Registry.
In their latest release, version 0.16, Microsoft has added a number of new and useful Toys.
Image Resizer
ImageResizer used to be part of the original PowerToys collection and allowed users to resize multiple images at the same time, useful when uploading or emailing them for example. The new sizes can either be custom or pre-set.
Window Walker
Windows Walker is an alternative windows switcher which lets you search for the right window instead of alt-tabbing between each one.
