Right now it’s at beta version o.18.1 but expect it to change versions fairly quickly as developers keep improving it. What you want to click on is the “.msi” installer package, which is listed near the bottom (as highlighted). GitHub is designed for developers, so it’s a bit confusing to figure out how to proceed.
Go here to find it: /microsoft/PowerToys/releases. To get there, however, you have to do the installation, and that starts with the PowerToys code repository on a site called GitHub. I just start typing in ‘solitai’ and it finds matching programs and offers up the two choices, either of which is tappable or clickable to launch. In fact, as an open source utility, the expectation is that as PowerToys Run gets more popular, there will be a richer and richer set of options you can access directly from that little floating box. Once you set your keyboard shortcut, it’s super easy to pop up that toolbar and type in whatever you want, whether it’s a program name, a math equation, a word to define and more. This is just been the nature of Windows compared to the other operating systems, but no more! The PowerToys set of utilities for Windows 10 now includes PowerToys Run which is essentially an open source copy of the Mac Spotlight utility.
As a result, PC people tend to have lots and lots of shortcuts on their desktop which leads to a rather cluttered user experience.
While both MacOS X and Linux have had an app launcher shortcut for a long time, Windows has insisted that you use the search feature that’s stuck on the TaskBar at the bottom of your screen.
