1 Official Changelog2 Recent Updates
Since rebooting PowerToys, Microsoft tweaked existing tools and added new ones like Keyboard Configuration. As the development team moves towards version 1.0 of the suite, there are constantly new features coming. Users were hoping the shortcuts to mute microphones and turn off webcams in Windows 10 would return. This feature debuted on PowerToys 0.22, but Microsoft admitted it was an experimental tool. The company now says the feature will return on the next experimental release, version 0.24. Back to version 0.23, there are a lot of fixes and general tweaks to get through.
