Microsoftは本日、Windows 10/11用の生産性向上ツール「PowerToys」の最新版0.57.0をリリースしました(Neowin)。新機能は追加されておらず、安定性と既存機能の改良にフォーカスしたリリースとなっています。
主な変更点として、PowerToys Runの改良が上げられています。古くから存在する問題が修正され、プラグインの機能追加や改良、ドキュメントの更新が行われています。PDFプレビュー機能は、Outlookとの非互換性や、Windows 10でもEdgeがPDFファイルのプレビューに登録されるようになったことを考慮して、デフォルトで無効化されています。

PowerToysはMicrosoftのオープンソースプロジェクトで、Windows 10またはWindows 11のUIやエクスペリエンスを自分好みにカスタマイズすることができる便利なツール群を提供しています。ユーザーからのフィードバックと安定性によっては、PowerToysの機能がOSに搭載されることもあり、Windows 11のスナップレイアウトとスナップグループは、PowerToysのFanzyZonesツールのアイデアを取り入れたものとなっています。
最新版はMicrosoft Storeや、GitHubからダウンロードできるインストーラーを利用してインストール可能です。
