PowerToys is considering the introduction of a new utility called "Settings Scheduler," proposed by contributor Joseph Finney. This tool aims to allow users to schedule changes to Windows settings, such as toggling between dark and light modes, disabling Wi-Fi, or muting volume based on a timer or personalized schedule. It seeks to simplify the process compared to existing tools like Power Automate and Task Scheduler. The Settings Scheduler may also include advanced triggers based on Wi-Fi networks or locations. While still a concept, upcoming PowerToys updates will introduce new features, including a New+ menu for creating templates and an Action Menu for quick task access. Additionally, Microsoft plans to integrate a portion of the Sysinternals suite, including ZoomIt, into PowerToys.
