PowerToys Run is getting a huge revamp for the new year
In an X post on Christmas Day (making it a lovely present for PowerToys fans), Kayla Cinnamon from Microsoft shared an intriguing trailer of a brand-new Run tool. It didn’t give out a lot of information, but it still gives us little glimpses into what’s to come. Take a look:
Did you see what I saw? Yeah, there are going to be extensions with this brand-new PowerToys Run tool. While the trailer didn’t explain how they work or who can make an extension, they have the potential to make PowerToys Run far better than it already is. Microsoft is keeping schtum on when the new toy will release, giving us only a very vague 2025 date; however, we can’t wait to get our hands on the new PowerToys Run and see what it can do.
