Extensions, plug-ins, and productivity tools for Windows
Match the site address to the saved login and start with manual autofill. Understand the security boundary between page-load autofill, Edge’s password manager, and Bitwarden’s vault timeout.
Toggle the extension per site, adjust a site-specific mode, and check the exclusion list when a page looks wrong or the extension appears inactive.
Install and test the extension, disable it on selected sites, and decide whether it should analyze sensitive text before you type.
When a desktop flow cannot control a browser, check the installed version, extension state, and browser session in order.
Compression depends on file type and settings. Distinguish the 7z format’s AES-256 capability from the options used, then test the archive you create.
Check the installer option, launch from the intended folder, and verify the working directory.
Temporarily prevent sleep for a task while treating display behavior as a separate choice.
Sample a visible color, inspect the copied format, and verify it in the intended project.
Add documented preview handlers for selected formats and troubleshoot the pane before assuming a file is unsupported.
Use a narrowly scoped hosts entry for a test, then distinguish file changes from resolver caching.
Check supported files before opening them, then use the default app when preview is not enough.
Search for apps, files, or calculations, and check plugin settings when a result is missing.
Extract text from a selected screen region, then verify the language and copied result.
Install the correct Edge listing, compare price lines with a shipping-cost example, and manage alerts, privacy, and access.
Learn the four-PC pairing flow, 100 MB single-file limit, unsupported folder transfers, and SYSTEM service risk.
Divide the display into columns, grids, or canvas zones and place windows in chosen areas. It is an optional PowerToys utility for designing more detailed zones than Windows 11 Snap layouts.
Diagnose file-locking conflicts in File Explorer by identifying blocking processes and safely resolving handle holds.
Batch resize photos directly from the File Explorer context menu using preset dimensions and custom scaling.
Reassign individual keys and create per-application shortcut remappings using the PowerToys Keyboard Manager utility.
Select files in Explorer and rename them with text replacement or regular expressions. It adds conditional matching and a detailed preview beyond basic File Explorer renaming.
