PowerToys is a collection of utilities from Microsoft that enhances Windows 11 with tools like PowerRename, a Color Picker, and Keyboard Manager, but these are not included by default.

Everything (Voidtools) offers a fast alternative to Windows Search by indexing files quickly and providing real-time results.
