Well, PowerToys v0.97.2 is out now, and, you guessed it, it’s a bug fix patch. However, the bugs it does squash are pretty annoying quirks with some of the more powerful and useful tools, so it’s well worth a download if your favorite feature is getting on your nerves lately.<\/p>\n

You can check out all of the fixes on the PowerToys GitHub<\/a> page. The notes mostly contain patch fixes for some of the recent additions to the PowerToys suite, which should make them a lot less frustrating to use. For example, the Light Switch feature, which alternates your operating system between light mode and dark mode depending on what time it is, didn’t apply the right theme on startup. This new version will fix that, so give it a download if you want Light Switch to work perfectly on boot.<\/p>\n The new Cursor Wrap feature, which lets you move your cursor off one monitor edge and have it reappear on the other, also has a few welcome fixes to it. For example, if you disabled the “Automatically activate on utility startup” option, it would eventually re-enable itself, which has now been fixed. Plus, there’s a new setting that disables Cursor Wrapping when a single monitor is connected, which you can toggle on and off. <\/p>\n There are quite a few more fixes with this update, so check out the full list below:<\/p>\n \n Advanced Paste\n <\/p>\n #45207<\/a> Fixed a crash in the Advanced Paste settings page caused by null values during JSON deserialization.<\/p>\n \n Color Picker\n <\/p>\n #45367<\/a> Fixed contrast issue in Color picker UI.<\/p>\n \n Command Palette\n <\/p>\n #45194<\/a> Fixed an issue where some Command Palette PowerToys Extension strings were not localised.<\/p>\n \n Cursor Wrap\n <\/p>\n #45210<\/a> Fixed “Automatically activate on utility startup” setting not persisting when disabled.
