PowerToys earns its keep with three window-management utilities
XDA's Hamlin Rozario highlights Always On Top, FancyZones and Grab And Move after replacing Command Palette with Raycast.
TLDR
XDA's Hamlin Rozario installed Microsoft PowerToys to try Command Palette, then replaced that launcher with Raycast. He kept PowerToys because three other utilities solved recurring window-management problems: Always On Top pins a window with a keyboard shortcut, FancyZones creates layouts beyond Windows 11's presets, and Grab And Move lets users drag or resize a window without targeting its title bar. The verdict is a personal workflow recommendation, not a performance test, but it shows how the free, open-source bundle can remain useful after its original draw is gone.
