- ⚠️ PowerToys minimum version of Windows 10 is v1903 starting with the 0.37 release
- Have [.NET Core 3.1.14 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-3.1.14-windows-x64-installer). The installer should handle this but we want to directly make people aware.

Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
### 0.39 - May 2021 Update
### 0.41 - June 2021 Update
The PowerToys team is delaying our 0.39 release. We learned a lot but items took longer than expected. We have more we want done before the next release. This longer time will allow us to get in more amazing pull requests by you, the community, to add / improve functionality
Our goals for [v0.39 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F20) and [v0.41 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F21) cycle included stability updates and optimizations, general bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and supporting the integration of the new community led project, Awake, which allows Power-Users to now keep their computer awake on demand!
### 0.37 - April 2021 Update
#### Highlights from v0.39 / v0.41
Our goals for [v0.37 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F19) Video Conference Mute work so we can bring it into the stable branch, general bug fixes, moving Keyboard manager out, and removing the legacy settings app.
The 0.36 experimental release was released this month as well which includes Video Conference Mute which is based off the 0.35 code base.
Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities will dictate what the core team is focusing on for the near future.
#### Highlights from v0.37
The PowerToys team delayed our 0.39 release. We decided that we wanted to do more for the next release of PowerToys, so this longer time allowed us to get in more amazing pull requests by you, the community, to add / improve functionality which we merged into 0.41.
**General**
- PowerToys now requires Windows 10, version 1903 or higher
- FancyZones editor default launching key is <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>`</kbd>
- Windows Terminal's new Quake mode will use <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>`</kbd>. We feel this is a far better use of the keystroke.
- Current PowerToys users can update this in our settings in the FancyZone section.
- Removed our v1 HTML based settings system
- New Awake utility added! Power-Users can now keep their computer awake on-demand without having to manage its power settings. A huge thank you to [@dend](https://github.com/dend) for driving the development of this feature. Check out complete guidance and getting started info on [Microsoft Docs](https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_Awake)

Ex: `$ Add/Remove Programs` To list all settings of an area category, type `:` after the category name. Ex: `$ Device:`.
