While most Windows PCs come with some built-in automation services, there are many third-party applications that can aid automation and efficiency.
The first is aText, a free-to-download tool where users can create shortcuts for often-used phrases, addresses, emails, and URLs.
AutoHotkey allows users to assign keys to automatically open programs and tasks, enhance the clipboard, and even reassign key combos.
AutoDarkmode allows users to switch between dark and light modes at specified times.
Microsoft Power Automate enables users to create flows to automatically complete tasks such as sending payment reminder emails, saving email attachments, and organising photos.
Task Scheduler, PowerShell, Ditto, and DropIt are also recommended applications for automating daily tasks on a Windows PC.
