Barrier - having the program on 2 PCs allows you to control both from 1 set of kb & mouse, your 2nd PC behaves like an additional screen
Tabby looks pretty cool: https://tabby.sh/
AutoHotKey for all those identical responses you have to type out dozens of times a week. It does alot of other cool stuff too.
nah, its a feature!
WinCompose - No more Alt+1234 codes to type special characters. Most common unicode characters are built in with intuitive defaults, and it's completely configurable.
Octoprint - If you use and/or work with 3D printers, you need remote control of them, and Octoprint is one of the better 3D printer servers out there. With variants for all major OSes and Raspberry Pi images, it's pretty flexible.
VS Code - I've actually been really digging on VS Code lately, despite actively hating Visual Studio. Code is a complete redesign written in electron/npm with Typescript/Javascript extension support and a reasonably active community marketplace for extensions. It's far from perfect, but represents a really good foray into modern development environments from Microsoft.
For the Penguins here, Remmina (https://remmina.org/ ) works pretty well.

Chocolatey ?
To add on to the Everything recommendation: Everything Toolbar can be configured to replace the search icon in your taskbar. I don't believe it can take the place of the search in start menu when you type in the start menu, but useful nonetheless.
I use a fair few of already mentioned apps from above so won't repeat. Here's a few I didn't see or missed. winget - native package manage in Windows Vysor - Android mirroring Huetro - Philips Hue control Twinkletray - Twinkle Tray lets you easily manage the brightness levels of multiple monitors XnView MP - XnView MP is a versatile and powerful photo viewer, image management, image resizer. WinAreo - for applying a few tweaks here and there Screen Ruler - especially useful when working with graphics nirsoft.net - too many to mention Shutter - lots of conditional shutdown options TheMatrixTrilogy - My preferred screensaver of choice reg2ps.azurewebsites.net - honourable mention of service for converting .reg files to PowerShell.
