It’s been a week since Microsoft released PowerToys v0.16 with 4 exciting utilities that are already favorites here at OnMSFT, and the company is following up this week with PowerToys v0.16.1 with some improvements and bug fixes including enabling new features to be turned on by default for upgrades. For anyone who tried the recently released utilities, all the new features were disabled by default and it seems Microsoft is continuing to listen to their users and improve the user experience.

This patch release includes the following fixes:

New utilities are turned on by default for upgrades – (#1878)
Correct localization bug – (#1795)
RDP bug in FancyZones – (#1821)
Focus bug in Window Walker – (#1800)
Added telem to actually know if Window Walker was enabled (#1925)
Make user aware of dual MSIX and MSI install issue, partial solution (#1920)
fixed FancyZone crash with Unity (#1873)

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
