E.g. a startup application? I found old threads on this with conflicting views but couldn't get anything to work. I don't mean "minimized" to small window size, but specifically turned on but minimized to the tray.
I'm on Win 10, currently on the latest 100.2 version, but this has been an issue I've had for a long time now. I don't use PowerToys a lot, but I want to to be there when I need it, but occasionally when I try to use one of the modules it's just not working and I see that PowerToys just exited at some point.
I don't know why it does this, but it's annoying when it happens, and having tried searching for this a few times now, apparently I'm the only one having this issue so I wanted to ask about it directly. I checked the errors in event viewer as a potential explanation but there's nothing for today at all there either. I'm hoping someone knows why this happens, and how I can fix this
I wanted to completely replace Raycast, so I created two new extensions
1: HyperKey for Command Palette
Allows configuring and setting HyperKey(CapsLock) as a windows’ low-level keyboard hook
It ignores quick clicks, so your capslock keeps working, but you can use it as a general purpose shortcut key ( by default, mapped to CTRL + SHIFT ALT + WIN )
so you can reuse in any application (mainly I use to other Command Palette tools, but as example i put CAPS + A for always on top

2: Change Audio Device for Command Palette
Allows changing an input / output audio device from the command palette on a single click
Simply change audio input or output devices without having to to game mode and do 3 clicks.
example of audio switcher on top bar
I have configured mine to CAPS + 1 for input and CAPS + 2 for output..
WAAAY faster than going into settings every time

Hello, y’all! I’m using the top bar from the command palette through windows powertoys and recently (after the newest update) I’ve noticed higher than usual ram usage: it always was <500MB, now >1GB, is that normal or is it a memory leak???
Using some tools of the powertoys tool bag, I was quite surprised to observe that the powertoys application and helper processes and the activated tools use up more than 1GB of RAM. Are the tools and processes so inefficiently programmed?
PowerToys.Run 175MB
Hi,
I frequently use TE to pick up numbers from websites and document. For readability they are often (almost always spaced, like 0800 22 44 88 (NHS UK) or 1 800 622 6232 (1 800 O-Canada)).
So I'm looking for a function, program, macro or anything that automatically removes all spaces from the OCRed text.
Anyone got an idea?
P.S.: Work PC, means I got no admin rights.
Command Palette now causes me to lag doing things. Using 7% of my CPU for no reason. Had to disable it.
Didn't cause any issues on v0.100.0, since update to v0.100.1 the issues appeared, with Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.exe as the culprit.
Hey everyone! Thanks to some great feedback, I just pushed a major update (v1.3.1) to the ValleySoft Disk Analyzer!
Here is what's new in this release:
⚡ Extreme Performance Optimizations We radically overhauled the scanning engine. SSD scanning speeds are now significantly faster, and we've completely eliminated the UI hangs and freezes that could happen when scanning massive drives.
🔥 Live UI Streaming You no longer have to wait for a scan to completely finish before seeing results! The UI now populates incrementally in real-time, showing you folders and sizes exactly as they are discovered.
🛡️ Always Run as Administrator Added a new built-in "Always Run as Administrator" toggle in the File menu! It automatically saves your preference and natively relaunches the app via UAC so you can deep-scan protected system directories and hidden files without restrictions.
🛠️ Command Palette Fixes Fixed critical COM bugs and duplicate entries in the native Command Palette Extension. Also, the Standalone App and Command Palette extension are now perfectly unified into a single 1-click installation!
You can grab the update right now: 📥 Microsoft Store: Search for "ValleySoft Disk Analyzer" 📥 GitHub Releases: https://github.com/valley-soft/powertoys-diskanalyzer/releases/tag/v1.3.1
Let me know what you think of the new speeds! Your feedback has been amazing!
Easily toggle Admin rights right from the File menu to scan your entire drive.
Hello World.
I'm sightseeing fidgety human.
I've always felt seemingly uncomfortable with "FancyZones" in PowerToys because lack of Hotkey settings.
Someone sponsored me with the chatGPT plus plan.
so, I tried to make something that works.
with just chat and review,
I created this for people experiencing the same problem. I hope you find it useful.
https://github.com/R-Github04/Windows-FancyZones-Manager
it is not completed, but reasonably usable.
If wants update or new feature, comment this post or issue my project.
thx in advance for feedback.
