### 0.65 - November 2022 Update
### 0.66 - December 2022 Update
In this release, we focused on stability and improvements.
**Highlights**

### Known issues
- The Text Extractor utility [fails to recognize text in some cases on ARM64 devices running Windows 10](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/20278).
- After installing PowerToys, [the new Windows 11 context menu entries for PowerRename and Image Resizer might not appear before a system restart](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/19124).
- There are reports of users who are [unable to open the Settings window](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/18015). This is being caused by incompatibilities with some applications (RTSS RivaTuner Statistics Server is a known examples of this). If you're affected by this, please check the linked issue to verify if any of the presented solutions works for you.
- PowerToy utilities now ship with self-contained .NET 7, meaning it's not necessary to install .NET as part of the installer and it's easier to keep up to date.
