Other tools already available include PowerRename (extensively integrate file renaming options) and the Windows Key Shortcut Guide (holding a Windows key for about 1 second produces a short keyboard shortcut guide). You can install the PowerToys utility, then check back periodically for any new utilities. Many of the original PowerToys are now integrated into the Windows operating system, such as Command Prompt Here (opens a Command Prompt window in your current folder) and Send to X (send the selected file to a location from the context menu). PowerToys was a set of freeware system utility apps Microsoft developed for Windows 95 and Windows XP, and now for Windows 10. The Fancy Zones app is part of the revitalized Microsoft PowerToys project. To use Fancy Zones, you must install the PowerToys utilities, then enable Fancy Zones through the utility manager. If Fancy Zone's default grids are not to your liking, you can create a custom grid layout with multiple zones. Each grid adds extra snap-to lines to your monitor, allowing you to push your apps around the screen with ease. The default layouts include rows, columns, grids, and a handy priority grid.

It brings the functionality of several other apps on this list into a Windows 10 specific app.įancy Zones splits your monitor layout into several easy-to-use monitor layouts. Fancy Zones is an extension of the Windows 10 snap tool. The winner of the best window manager tool undoubtedly goes to Microsoft's Fancy Zones.
