Microsoftは本日、Windows 10/11用の生産性向上ツール「PowerToys」の最新版v0.66.0をリリースしました(GitHub)。
v0.66.0では、自己完結型の.NET 7とともに提供されるようになっています。インストーラの一部として.NETをインストールする必要がなくなり、最新の状態を維持することがより簡単になりました。また、インストールされているOCR言語のどれをText Extractorで使用するかを、右クリックのコンテキストメニューで選択できるようになり、クイックアクセントにはアクセント文字の使用頻度順で並べ替える設定が追加されています。
新バージョンのハイライトは以下の通りです。
- PowerToy utilities now ship with self-contained .NET 7, meaning it's not necessary to install .NET as part of the installer and it's easier to keep up to date.
- It's possible to pick which of the installed OCR languages is used by Text Extractor by selecting it in the right-click context menu.
- Added a setting to sort the order of the accented characters by usage frequency in Quick Accent.
その他の変更点は以下の通りです。

PowerToysはMicrosoftが開発を主導する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。評判や安定性によっては、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。
