Is there a Power Toy to turn off telemetry and ads?
The only feature I want from PowerToys is an application switcher like Spotlight / Alfred on macOS (not an application launcher).
Bug report has been open for years: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/5962
This could replace the start menu for me if it could bind to the Windows key. I can't undo decades of muscle memory.
Replacing PowerToys Run (Windows Finder) ... read hn's top articles from windows search. Salute to the pandering, I didn't use Run but looking forward to trying this out.
I don't understand why PowerToys is not part of the Windows OS and gets updated regularly.
A good alternative is Listary v4[0] and Fluent-search[1]

Fun fact - Fluent search comes with vim-easymotion like navigation built in. Now beat that Microsoft!
