Microsoft has released PowerToys version 0.18.2 to its power users interested in testing the utilities of the era bygone that could potentially make their way to the public in the future. Microsoft had recently introduced a Win + R replacement that could eventually turn into a macOS-like Spotlight search. This Run launcher has today received some improvements along with other bug fixes.
Here is the complete changelog of PowerToys version 0.18.2
Today's release is essentially a patch update bringing fixes for issues that a few items released through PowerToys version 0.18 were experiencing. Version 0.18 had introduced the Run launcher and the Keyboard Manager.
"This release fixes a problem when PowerToys was run elevated and a ripple effect with PowerToys Run then being elevated as well," Microsoft writes. "It also fixes one of the major search result issues from the 0.18/0.18.1 release."
