Text Extractor (Win + Shift + T) allows you to copy text from anywhere on-screen – once evoked, just click and drag around the area containing the text you wish to capture. Of the three new tools, Screen Ruler (Win + Shift + M) launches a small fixed window with four tools for measuring pixels on-screen: click and drag to measure a bounding box, plus three rulers (crosshair, horizontal and vertical) for revealing a specific X, Y or X/Y pixel on-screen. Users can measure pixels using the new Screen Ruler tool.Īfter installation and reboot, PowerToys launches automatically to the Taskbar notification area where you can access its settings, a list of all available tools with a brief description, various settings, the all-important key combo to invoke the tool (typically Win + Shift + key) and links to find out more about each tool. PowerToys is designed to provide users with a set of tools that are useful in everyday life, and the latest build extends the number of tools offered to 15 with three new additions: Screen Ruler, Quick Accent and Text Extractor. Microsoft’s open-source revival of its PowerToys project takes another huge stride forward with the release of Microsoft PowerToys 0.62 for Windows 10 and 11 PCs. ![]()
