PowerToys 0.94 Lands as Microsoft Previews Auto Light/Dark Scheduling for October

The official utility pack is increasingly filling Windows 11 gaps through rapid GitHub releases.

Overview

  • Version 0.94 is available now with a new Settings search and a shortcut-conflict detector that flags clashes in red.
  • Microsoft’s Niels Laute says PowerToys 0.95 is planned for October with scheduled automatic light/dark theme switching.
  • The 0.95 update will also debut a revamped Keyboard Manager user interface, according to Microsoft.
  • Windows 11 still lacks native theme scheduling, making the upcoming PowerToys utility a workaround for a widely requested feature.
  • Users can download the latest PowerToys release from Microsoft’s GitHub, which also lists additional tweaks such as new Mouse Pointer Crosshairs options.
