Windows has a habit of making you do things the slow way. How many times have you opened an image editor just to resize a picture, retyped text you couldn't copy, or opened several files just to find the right one? None of it is hard, but it all adds up. The fix has been sitting there for years, free from Microsoft, and it's called PowerToys. It's a free collection of utilities (over 30) that quietly automates the boring parts of Windows with a few clicks or keyboard shortcuts.
