Summary

  • There are many applications that help users gain more from their Windows experience, but lots of people are not aware of their existence.
  • Here are 11 apps that everyone using Windows should have:
    1. Everything: a fast file search utility that outperforms Windows Search as it solely focuses on file and folder names rather than indexing file content. It enables quick results and has advanced search operators, filters, and sorting options alongside a search history feature.
    1. QuickLook: an app that allows users to preview images, PDFs and even video and audio files by clicking the space bar. It is integrated into the workflow and does not need to open a dedicated app.
    1. EarTrumpet: this app lets the user control the volume of individual apps from the system tray, allowing more granular control. It also allows the user to mute a rogue tab in a browser while keeping another audible.
    1. ShareX: an app that allows users to do more than just basic captures. It can record videos, GIFs, annotate screenshots, apply watermarks and more.
