The version in the Store is 0.45, so it’s still considered pre-release this version is mostly about an updated Settings menu and some stability and optimization improvements and is the same version you can get as a standalone download. “Microsoft PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows 10 experience for greater productivity,” the Store description notes. It is an open-source solution powered by Microsoft.Two and a half years after Microsoft announced that it was rebooting the PowerToys, the utilities are available in the Microsoft Store. To cycle between different windows snapped in the same zone, use Win+PgUp/PgDn.If you want to expand a window to multiple zones, you can use Win+Ctrl+Alt+, but you must first set Override Windows Snap to Enabled in the FancyZones settings and select Move windows based on: Relative position.

Repeat the process with the other windows until you're satisfied. Go to a window you want to add to the current layout, press the Shift key, and drag the window by its title bar into one of the zones to make it fit into place.If you want to tweak a layout, click the pencil icon for this layout and edit the number of zones, the highlight distance, the space around zones, and the zone positions.When you're done, close or minimize the Layout Editor.

To activate a given layout, double-click on it. If you reduce the size of the Editor and click on a layout, you will see the currently selected layout displayed behind. Open the Layout Editor, and either select the layout you want to use or create a new one.You can modify the activation shortcut (by default, it is Windows key+Shift+F), launch the layout Editor, and tweak settings related to zones.

Next, select the entry for FancyZones and ensure it is enabled.
