Installing and running Microsoft PowerToys
Requirements
- Windows 11 or Windows 10 version 2004 (code name 20H1 / build number 19041) or newer.
- Our installer will install the following items:
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime bootstrapper. This will install the latest version.
Via GitHub with EXE [Recommended]
Go to Microsoft PowerToys GitHub releases page, click on Assets at the bottom to show the files available in the release. Please use the appropriate PowerToys installer that matches your machine's architecture. For most, it is x64.

- For ARM64 processors: PowerToysSetup-0.67.0-arm64.exe
This is our preferred method.

Via WinGet
Download PowerToys from WinGet. To install PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:
winget install Microsoft.PowerToys -s winget
Other install methods
There are community driven install methods such as Chocolatey and Scoop. If these are your preferred install solutions, you can find the install instructions there.
