The number is constantly growing and changes frequently. Here are all the current tools you can use with PowerToys, as well as a detailed explanation of how to use them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_FancyZones_%E2%80%93_Bessere_Fensterverwaltung\"><\/span>1. fancyZones - Better window management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong>FancyZones<\/strong> you can optimize your work environment and arrange windows with just a few clicks. It helps you manage multiple windows efficiently on your screen by creating custom layouts where you can drag and drop your windows. You can create zones on your screen that define the size and position of the windows. This keeps your desktop tidy and allows you to switch between different applications more quickly.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/PowerToys\/tree\/master\/src\/modules\/fancyzones\">Click here for the FancyZones documentation on GitHub.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_PowerRename_%E2%80%93_Dateien_schnell_umbenennen\"><\/span>2. powerRename - rename files quickly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PowerRename<\/strong> is a super handy tool if you need to rename a large number of files.
