Microsoft pushes out another update to PowerToys for Windows 10
Ah, PowerToys… how much we love thee! After reviving the much-loved utilities for Windows 10, Microsoft has wasted no time in releasing update after update, adding more and more tools and refining this incredible software.
It's only a week since the release of PowerToys v0.19.0, but the development team already has a new version for you to try out.

Before you get too excited, it's worth pointing out that the newly released PowerToys v0.19.1 is essentially a bug-fixing release, but it's no less important for that. On Twitter, Clint Rutkas from the PowerToys team explains that a sextuplet of issues have been addressed with this release:

The full changelog looks like this:

- #4578>#4646- FancyZones: When "Hold Shift key" is deactivated, Shift key should deactive FancyZones
- #4578>#4625- [Run] Search text not updating on up/down navigation
- #4578>#4432- Mitigated the race condition in os detection
