Microsoft has released PowerToys version 0.19.2 this week which fixes more bugs affecting the collection of Windows 10 tools. The patch resolves a high CPU load issue and addresses additional problems affecting the PowerToys Run and FancyZones tools.

Here’s the full list of improvements and fixes in PowerToys version 0.19.2:

  • #4578 – WinKey for launcher throws a lot of false positives
  • #4521 – Improving performance of Adding and Removing Packaged Apps
  • #4694 – FancyZone Windows Snap Behind Top Mounted Windows Task Bar

Microsoft has acknowledged that PowerToys version 0.019.2 didn’t fix all previously reported bugs, and the recurring issue that has been preventing users from opening PowerToys Settings when it’s minimized in the taskbar still persists in this release. The software giant noted that the bug will be resolved in PowerToys version 0.20. In the meantime, if you want to get the latest stability improvements, head over to the GitHub releases page to download the recent version.

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.
