PowerToys Windows


Microsoft has released an update for the PowerToys app which fixes a number of critical bugs across the installer, PowerToys Run, FancyZones and ColorPicker.

Version 0.20.1 is now available for download.

FancyZones had a bug in it which then crashed our hosting app (we refer to as Runner), then that caused us to find a few bugs in PowerToys Run that happen when Runner crashes.


Official Changelog

  • #5400 – PT Run doesn’t dispose properly and disposed object trying to be accessed
  • #5555 – ColorPicker trying to always reload a bad settings file
  • #5540 – FancyZones tries to drag an elevated window
  • #5484 – Installer gets stuck installing .NET Core



You can freshly download the app from GitHub or simply update it by going to General tab, under Updates. Click on Check for updates.
