2 weeks ago Hi! Thanks for the suggestions. A lot of these are already tracked in existing issues in PowerToys (or internally)!
Tracking multiple (different) requests in one issue is not how we typically handle requests/feedback, so I'm going to close this issue and make note of extra support for efforts in the individual issues that track this.
If there are other things you have requests for, particularly for Windows, please feel free to file on Feedback Hub (internally, we absolutely use this feedback to learn more about what our users want and need!). /feedbackhub

Description of the new feature / enhancement
I have some suggestions to enhance the app:
1) The app uses up to 800 MB of memory on my mid-tier PC with all modules enabled. It would be great if it could consume less memory.
2) Adding a module for gamers that includes PC boosting, auto memory cleanup, syncing from various cloud gaming accounts, system optimization, optimized settings, and displaying in-game fps and ping would be very useful.
3) The new NEW+ module is exclusive to Windows 11, but it should also be available for Windows 10 users.
4) The video conference mute function currently only works for the microphone and not for the camera, which limits its functionality.
5) Introducing a module for customizing the right-click context menu would provide users with greater control and convenience.
6) The font of this app appears hazy and needs to be fixed.
7) For web developers, a screen ruler with input options for horizontal and vertical spacing would be very beneficial for positioning media accurately.
8) Power Toys should have a feature to alert users if a hotkey is already in use by another module or Windows itself.
9) The shortcut guide should include the Power Toys shortcuts.
10) An option to assign a host key (super hot key) like the Windows button for creating shortcuts would be very useful.
11) It would be great to have a profile option in Power Toys to change settings in bulk.
12) Adding an auto-dark mode module that switches between dark and light mode according to time allocation would be a powerful addition.
13) Creating an extension for the Chromium browser to provide users with the exclusive experience of Power Toys would be fantastic.
I believe that implementing these suggestions will make the app even more appealing and indispensable to a wider range of users.
