**Note:** After installing, you will have to start PowerToys for the first time. We will improve install experience this moving forward but due to a possible install dependency, we can't start after install currently.

This is our preferred method.

### Via WinGet (Preview)

||||
Download PowerToys from [WinGet](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases). To install PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:

## What's Happening

Our goals for 0.17 release cycle were updatability and stability.
|
||||
Our goals for 0.18 release cycle was three big items, PowerToys Run, Keyboard manager, and migrating to the new settings system. This is also the first time we'll test out the auto-updating system.
|
||||
|
||||
**Auto-updating:** We just added in the code for doing updating, so the first chance to experience this will be when 0.18 is released. We’re also seeing how aggressive everyone wants with this so right now, you’ll have to click “Install” for it to kick off the installer. This is something we’d love feedback on.
|
||||
Feedback is critical. We know there are areas for improvement on PT Run. We would love feedback so we can improve. We also would love to know if you want us to be more aggressive on auto-upgrading.
|
||||
|
||||
Another thing we did was utilized telemetry from PowerToys to prioritize virtual desktop FancyZone work. We knew there was a subset of bugs caused by an underlying issue and seeing how many users it affected helped us reprioritize to do the work sooner.
|
||||
|
||||
- We shipped [v0.17][github-release-link]!
|
||||
- Auto-updating
|
||||
