Windows 10: Microsoft is bringing back one of Windows 95’s most popular features

By | May 14, 2019

Microsoft is revamping PowerToys utilities for Windows 10.

Microsoft is rebooting and open sourcing PowerToys, the Windows 95 utilities that brought power users the popular Tweak UI, which allowed users to manipulate the Windows user interface, and over a dozen other tools.

Microsoft is planning to publish previews of PowerToys utilities via GitHub this summer, along with the source code under an MIT license, as it did with the recently open-sourced Windows Calculator app. Likewise, it is also encouraging any fans to give feedback about which features it should prioritize for PowerToys.

The effort will see PowerTools rebuilt for Windows 10, after the set of utilities was abandoned following the release of Windows XP.
