They still make it. Tons of great utils for Win10/11 (I'm off of 11 cuz fuck that noise, but when I was on win10 I used it).

Here's the link to the current version for modern systems: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/

For me the very first to install on any new Windows system is

    winget instal git.git -i 

and tick the option to add all the GNU coreutils to make Windows usable.

I can then git clone my repository of setup scripts to configure the rest of the system unattended.

D&D a playbook from Atlas/Revi and your good to go.

Also doesn't scale on my mobile screen and the headings on the right are almost unreadable due to low font size. Missing HTTPS is a also a nit.

Could probably be all done with CSS but wasn't done for a long time

Hey its awesome but regarding donations since I actually wanted to talk about it.

But can you please look at adding yourself/Download Center archive to liberapay too as I was hoping to find liberapay.

You mention having kofi being the lowest prices but I think Liberapay has no fees other than payment processing and is itself an non profit and funded via donations.

Maybe then you would have "too many options to donate" but I think liberapay can be a good option to have honestly imo and I am interested to hear your thoughts about it.

Also I wanted to download windows 7 iso to run a simpler thing on my pc but Microsoft being shitty removed the download link of it and everything so great to see your project, Going to bookmark it right now and thank you!

Thanks for spreading the word John, it means a lot. In my teen years I discovered PortableApps and would read through the forum threads, fascinated by the ways the community tricked apps into being portable. Another incredible resource, and I really respect that it’s stayed around so long.

It’s hard to teach people it’s worth their time to double-check these things of course, but I try to show a chain of trust:

1. Files come from Wayback Machine, which is trusted to serve legitimate snapshots

2. There is a sha1 and size listed for most files (though these come from Wayback)

3. Checking signature is easy enough from Explorer

Perhaps a page on “how to know this is legit” is a good idea to help educate about this. The goal of the project is to have legitimate downloads with good SEO, without having to cut through ads/spam/sketchy redirects (still has a few ads but intentionally non-obtrusive), so people aren’t blindly downloading from sketchy sites.

I’ll also add: games and nostalgia.

Out of curiosity, what's the name of this tool? Your comment made me wonder if it's possible to reimplement it as FOSS.

They have the C++ ones are available: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-support...

the hardware and software licences for some of these systems can run into the millions too

And it's not worth risking Windows 11 destroying it by slamming the irreplaceable robotic stuff into itself in such ways that NASA or NTSB would find fancy UI animations or virtualization based security culpable. You may insist that programs that control airplanes and nuclear reactors are supposed to be written in Rust + TypeScript on daily updated Linux installation that depends on AWS us-east-1, but they would insist it ain't stupid if it works.
