Hey PowerToys fans!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re back with a fresh release: PowerToys 0.93<\/a>! As usual, we’ve squashed a bunch of bugs and made some small quality of life tweaks, but we’ve also packed in some bigger, exciting changes you’ll want to check out. Get the update by checking for updates in PowerToys or heading to the release page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Command Palette \u2013 smaller, better, faster, stronger!<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve been hard at work with the community to iron out issues and speed things up. And wow\u2026 it\u2019s paid off. By enabling Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation in the Windows App SDK, we successfully reduced the startup memory usage by 15%<\/strong>, load time by 40%<\/strong>, built-in extensions loading time by 70%<\/strong> and reducing the installation size by ~55%<\/strong>! Below, you can find the raw stats comparing 0.92 and 0.93:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
