The latest PowerToys update (v0.99.0) introduces a Linux-like 'Grab and Move' feature, allowing users to drag and resize windows using the ALT key and mouse. A new Power Display System Tray tool enables brightness, contrast, and color profile adjustments directly from Windows 11. Other enhancements include improvements to Command Palette, Keyboard Manager, ZoomIt, and a WinUI 3 redesign for Image Resizer. While most features work well, Power Display may not support all external monitors.
