  Windows system utilities to maximize productivity

  

When the core project can't provide it all, the alternatives emerge, as in extensions/plug-ins, mods/modifications and/or literal forks of the project (the latter is almost impossible to be legally done for Microsoft® Windows® in most of the western-ish world though, but it doesn't mean that it can't happen if there's some people that actually want to do it and work on it btw). That's where you find the 3rd party solutions like Stardock's paid tools and also the many little open source tools available on the platforms like GitHub (for example Microsoft's own PowerToys, a 3rd party tool MicaForEveryone which I'm currently using to make the legacy programs to have somewhat similar looks to the modern ones) to extend Windows beyond what it is/it can do out of the box. And yeah, they're often paid solutions and/but luckily I didn't need to use the paid ones (after trying their free trial versions) because it so happened to me that Windows is getting more and more like an OS I'd actually like to use day by day on my PC/laptop It wasn't the case in the past but it looks like they finally had to give up on the stubborn b00mer politics act and had to put their shit together so, good for them :D.
