With the passage of time, the Powertoys tools that Microsoft makes available to Windows have won millions of followers. Hence, the software giant does not stop launching updates with new functions, as is the case in the case now.
Specifically, we refer to the Powertoys 0.88 that the company has just made available to all those who want to make the most of these functions. The updates that are sent are usually full of corrections and improvements in some of the tools already included, and sometimes we find new ones, as is the case now.
And it is that the new version we tell you add a new tool that adds to the existing ones, while eliminating another. We can affirm that this is the first update of the Powertoys that Microsoft sends in this year 2025, and it will certainly not be the last. This novel version 0.88 is now available for download and we can get it through This link.
This is the new function of Powertoys 0.88, and the one that disappears
Apart from all the improvements that we will list below, as we tell you, Powertoys 0.88 comes to us with a new utility. Here we refer to a new functionality called Zoomit that finally reaches the stable version of this Microsoft tools set. As its own name suggests, the function as such will be of great help when it comes to expanding and recording the PC screen to generate our own presentations.
Maybe it is familiar to you as part of the Sysyinternals suite. Well, now it is part of Powertoys and it is also expected to continue evolving here. On the other hand, in terms of the eliminated function in the version that has just been launched, it is about Video Conference Mute, a tool that is considered obsolete.
