Scott Hanselman's 2021 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows

Can you believe it's been 6 years since my last Tools list? Tools have changed, a lot are online, but honestly, it's just a LOT OF WORK to do the tools list. But here's one for 2020-2021. These are the tools in my Utils folder. I made a d:\dropbox\utils folder and I added it to my PATH. That way it's on all my computers and in my path on all my computers and I can get to any of them instantly.

This is the Updated for 2020-21 Version of my 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, and 2014 List, and currently subsumes all my other lists. I’ve been doing this for over 17 years. Wow. I need to do better, I guess. 

Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable.  Here's mine.  Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week.  For me, "util" means utilitarian and it means don't clutter my tray.  If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it's the bomb. Many/most are free some aren't. Those that aren't free are very likely worth your 30-day trial, and very likely worth your money.

These are all well loved and oft-used utilities.  I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't use them constantly. Things on this list are here because I dig them. No one paid money to be on this list and no money is accepted to be on this list.

Personal Plug: If this list is the first time you and I have met, you should subscribe to my blog, and check out my podcasts, and sign up for my newsletter of Wonderful Things.

Please Link to http://hanselman.com/tools when referencing the latest Hanselman Ultimate Tools List. Feel free to get involved here in the comments, post corrections, or suggestions for future submissions. I very likely made mistakes, and probably forgot a few utilities that I use often.

THE LIFE AND WORK-CHANGING UTILITIES

"If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow." - Beyoncé

Windows Subsystem for Linux - It really can't be overstated how WSL/WSL2 has put the cherry on top of Windows 10. It runs on any build 20262 or higher as it was recently backported and it's integration with Windows is fantastic. It's also WAY faster than running a VM. Go learn more on my YouTube

Windows Terminal - Finally Windows has a modern terminal. You can run shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Its main features include multiple tabs, panes, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and the ability to create your own themes and customize text, colors, backgrounds, and shortcuts. It also includes a pseudo-console so 3rd party Terminals like hyper, conemu, terminus and more work better!

Windows PowerToys - They are back and they should be built into Windows. Install them here and get a color picker, fancy zones, file explorer addons, image resizers, keyboard manager and remapper, an Apple Spotlight-like running in the form of PowerToyrs Run, the Shortcut Guide and more!

Also check out Ueli as a great launcher/spotlight for Windows!

VS Code - Visual Studio Code is hella fast and is my goto text and code editor. I still use notepad sometimes and I'm in full Visual Studio a lot, but VS Code is like the Tesla of code editors. Check out my Favorite VS Code Extensions below.

PowerShell/OhMyPosh/PoshGit/Cascadia Code - I've had a blast this year taking my console prompt to the next level. Try these out but also look at Starship. Whatever you do, play! Don't accept the defaults!

ZoomIt - A true classic but also the answer to the #1 question I'm asked. How do you draw on the screen when you're sharing your screen? ZoomIt has been THAT TOOL in my toolbox. Really take some time and learn how to do boxes, arrows, colors and more and you'll be a more effective screen-sharer. In fact, just go get the whole SysInternals suite and put it all in your PATH.

Winget - It's apt-get for Windows. Similar to choco which I've used in the past, WinGet is going to be included in Windows 10 and has a ton of nice features. I use it to setup a machine in an hour from the command line, versus a day before doing it manually. Just add your MSA (Microsoft login) to the Package Manager Insiders Program and get it from the Store. It's bundled with the Windows App Installer. Then just "winget search <tool>" and winget install whatever!

QuickLook - Free in the Windows Store, just highlight a file in Explorer and press Space to get a preview!

Amazing .NET and Developer utilities

"Power means happiness; power means hard work and sacrifice." - Beyoncé

CodeTrack - CodeTrack is a free .NET Performance Profiler and Execution Analyzer. It works on basically every version of .NET and will give you massive insight into how your code is running! The flamegraph view is fantastic. It's free but you should donate as it's a one-person amazing app!

LINQPad - Interactively query your databases with LINQ with this tool from Joseph Albahari. A fantastic learning tool for those who are just getting into LINQ or for those who want a code snippet IDE to execute any C# or VB expression. Free and wonderful.

WinMerge - WinMerge just gets better and better. It's free, it's open source and it'll compare files and folders and help you merge your conflicted source code files like a champ. Also see Perforce Visual Merge which free and also can diff images, which is pretty amazing.

WinDbg - Low-level and classic but also new and fresh! WinDbg (Wind-bag?) is now in the Windows Store with ALL NEW VISUALS and more!

Insomnia and Nightingale are great alternatives to Postman for doing REST APIs!

NuGet Package Explorer - This app allows browsing NuGet packages from an online feed and viewing contents of the packages

WireShark - What's happening on the wire! WireShark knows!

GitHub Desktop - Gits, ahem, out of the way! Watch my Git 101 on YouTube!

Useful Windows Utilities that should be built in

"I love my job, but it’s more than that: I need it" - Beyoncé

Ear Trumpet - Fantastic advanced volume control for Windows! If you have ever wished that volume on Windows could turn their UI up to 11, Ear Trumpet is that app.

Teracopy - While I use the excellent built in copy features of Windows 10 the most, when I want to move a LOT of files as FAST as possible, nothing beats TeraCopy, an app that does just that - move stuff fast. The queue control is excellent.

AutoHotKey - This little gem is bananas. It's a tiny, amazingly fast free open-source utility for Windows. It lets you automate everything from keystrokes to mice. Programming for non-programmers. It's a complete automation system for Windows without the frustration of VBScript. This is the Windows equivalent of AppleScript for Windows. (That's a very good thing.

7-Zip - It's over and 7zip won. Time to get on board. The 7z format is fast becoming the compression format that choosey hardcore users choose. You'll typically get between 2% and 10% better compression than ZIP. This app integrates into Windows Explorer nicely and opens basically EVERYTHING you could ever want to open from TARs to ISOs, from RARs to CABs.

Paint.NET - The Paint Program that Microsoft forgot, written in .NET. It's 80% of Photoshop and it's free. Pay to support the author by getting the Windows Store version AND it will auto-update! It's only $7, which is an unreal value.

NimbleText - Regular Expressions are hard and I'm not very smart. NimbleText lets me do crazy stuff with large amounts of text without it hurting so much.

Markdown Monster - While I love VSCode, Markdown Monster does one thing incredibly well. Markdown.

Fiddler - The easy, clean, and powerful debugging proxy for checking out HTTP between here and there. It even supports sniffing SSL traffic.

NirSoft Utilities Collection - Nearly everything NirSoft does is worth looking at. My favorites are MyUninstaller, a replacement for Remove Programs, and WhoIsThisDomain.

Ditto Clipboard Manager - WindowsKey+V is amazing and close but Ditto keeps pushing clipboard management forward on Windows.

TaskbarX - It literally centers your Taskbar buttons. I love it. Open Source but also $1 in the Windows Store.

If you really want to mess with your Taskbar, try Taskbar Tweaker.

ShellEx View - Your Explorer's right click menu is cluttered, this can help you unclutter it!

OneCommander and Midnight Commander and Altap Salamander - As a long time Norton Commander user (google that!) there's a lot of great "reimaginings" of the Windows File Explorer. OneCommander and Altap Salamander does that, and Midnight Commander does it for the command line/CLI.

WinDirStat - A classic but still essential. What's taking up all that space? Spoiler - It's Call of Duty.

Also try SpaceSniffer!

FileSeek and Everything - Search it all, instantly!

I like Win+Share+S for Screenshots but also check out ShareX, Greenshot, and Lightshot

For animated Gifs, try screen2gif or LICEcap!

Alt-Tab Terminator - Takes your Alt-Tab to the next level with massive previews and search

PureText - PureText pastes plain text, purely, plainly. Free and glorious. Thanks Steve Miller

I still FTP and SCP and SFTP and I use WinSCP to do it! It's free or just $10 to get it from the Windows Store and support the author!

VLC Player - The best and still the best. Plays everything, everywhere.

PSReadline - Makes PowerShell more Bashy in the best way.

Yori and all Malcolm Smith's Utilities - Yori is a reimagning of cmd.exe!

Visual Studio Code Extensions

"I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me." – Beyoncé

There's a million great Visual Studio Extensions. The ones I like won't be the that ones you like. But, go explore.

GitLens - Glorious. Just makes Git and VS a joy and adds a thousand tiny lovely features that will make you smile. You'll wonder why this isn't built in.

Version Lens - Do you have the latest package versions? Now you know

CodeSnap - Screenshots specifically tailored to make your code look nice.

.NET Core Test Explorer - Makes unit testing with .NET on VS Code so much nicer

Arduino for VS Code - The Arduino extension makes it easy to develop, build, deploy and debug your Arduino sketches in Visual Studio Code! So nice.

Coverage Gutters - This amazing extension highlights what code is covered with Unit Test and what's not. Ryan is looking for help, so go see if this is a great OSS project YOU can get started with!

Docker for VS Code - Container explorer and manager and deployer, directly from VS

GitHistory - Another nice add-on for Git that shows your Git Log

HexDump - I need this more than I would like to admit

LiveShare - Stop screen-sharing and start code and context sharing!

PowerShell for VS - A great replacement for the PowerShell ISE

Remote Containers - This is an AMAZING EXTENSION you have to try if you have Docker but it has a horrible non-descriptive name. But must be seen to be believed. Perhaps it's "Visual Studio Development Containers," I'm not sure. Open a folder and attach to a development container. No installs, just you debugging Rust, Go, C#, whatever whilst installing NOTHING. Amazing.

Remote SSH - Another in the VS Remote Family of Extensions, this one lets you use any remote SSH Server as your development environment.

Remote WSL - Edit and debug and build code from Windows...using Linux!

And finally, Yoncé, my current VS Code theme. Beyoncé inspired.

Things I enjoy

“We all have our purpose, we all have our strengths.” – Beyoncé

RescueTime - Are you productive? Are you spending time on what you need to be spending time on? RescueTime keeps track of what you are doing and tells you just that with fantastic reports. Very good stuff if you're trying to GTD and TCB. ;

Carnac - This wonderful little open source utility shows the hotkey's you're pressing as you press them, showing up as little overlays in the corner. I use it during coding presentations.

DOSBox - When you're off floating in 64-bit super-Windows-10-Pro land, sometimes you forget that there ARE some old programs you can't run anymore now that DOS isn't really there. Enter DOSBox, an x86 DOS Emulator! Whew, now I can play Bard's Tale from 1988 on Windows 10 in 2021! Check out Gog.com for lots of DOSBox powered classics

Oh yes, and finally Windows Sandbox - You already have this and didn't even know it! You can fire up in SECONDS a copy of your Windows 10 machine in a safe sandbox and when you close it, it's gone. Poof. Great for testing weird tools and utilities that some rando on a blog asks you to download.

62 Windows Eight Secrets You Require To Know

Click this and select 'Shut Down' or 'Restart'. X, click 'Shut down or sign out' and choose the choice you require. Apple loves OS X the way it is and it will most likely stay the way it is for the remainder of its life.

A vocal, minuscule minority has pooh-poohed the improve in version numbers, but that is hardly a reputable complaint in a globe exactly where mobile apps update silently and successfully.

2When logged on to a Windows ten desktop, the disconnect choice is not accessible. Two values in specific are essential: VSIbase and VSImax. To select the desktop version, alter the setting to Usually in Web Explorer on the desktop.

Back in the XP and Vista days this was fairly simple—you could hold down the Ctrl important whilst choosing numerous windows on the taskbar, and then correct-click on any of them to tile or cascade them.

It tends to make the tiniest font readable, particularly on my tiny Sony VAIO pocket pc. The new OS combines the list of installed apps with Reside Tiles and shortcuts pinned to the correct pane.

Cannot say any cons about it really… its just that there are random ‘popping’ sounds occurring. You can also click to see a list of all communications in between them and you at a glance.

So you begin with discovering devices, discovering what versions they are on, prepare them by performing that initial capture of the profile and file information. Whilst moving a tile, if you require a bigger view of the Begin screen move the tile towards the leading or bottom of the screen to zoom out.

two. Confirm the UAC prompt that Windows loads. four. Verify if the Registry worth AllowOnlineTips exists currently. Dword (32-bit) Worth from the context menu.

Disabling the Shop is a great way to stop anybody else from installing any undesirable app to your method, nevertheless, there is no default choice to disable the Windows Shop.

Step 2: Then kind the following command and hit “Enter” to continue. Step 3: Then input msoobe command and hit “Enter” to continue. Getting the taskbar, begin menu, and action center transparent can be great for your eyes, but the function consumes some of the sources on your Computer.

Let us checkout some of the most helpful Windows ten tweaks, tricks and suggestions I’ve discovered. Microsoft has a webpage with directions for each of these techniques. Numerous chemists just require to print a spectrum on their personal or to insert it into a slide. NMR reader is much more than sufficient for these tasks.

Utilizing this shortcut, you can rapidly produce a sticky note, open a new sketchpad or do a screen sketch. Step 2: Launch the AutoHotKey software program. A dialogue box will appear prompting you to produce a sample script. Click the ‘Yes’ button on the dialogue box.

Whilst you are poking about Cortana’s choices, you can dive into the Notebook menu to fine-tune precisely what individual information Microsoft’s digital assistant can access. Keep in mind, nevertheless, that like Google Now, Cortana’s effectiveness is straight associated to how a lot she knows about you.

Once more, it is up to you to determine which important to use. Because some Apple Bluetooth keyboards do not have devoted arrow keys, Veeer also functions with the WASD keys.

Note. If you cannot discover the driver automatically Windows will recommend you to specify the path to the essential device driver. Microsoft has produced steady and substantial improvements to Windows ten which is why much more and much more longtime macOS owners are now switching to it.

Now it indicates that any Window customers may have much more than 1 apps installed on their pc device and it could be such that the normal customers may have a quantity of apps installed on their device.

It is also the regular tool utilized in all tests executed in the internationally acclaimed study project VDIlike a Pro (formerly recognized as Project Virtual Reality Verify).

Windows ten does not come with a pre-installed application to play DVD films, which appears crazy to us but there you have it. 15 (unless you upgraded). So, we are going to share a technique that will assist you crack your Windows password.

Later iterations minimized the interface by such as a welcome web page with hyperlinks to the Web, a section for new subjects, and a web page with hyperlinks to all subjects in the app.

If you can boot into the operating method -- even if you have to boot into secure mode -- you ought to carry out a file scan to verify for issues.

Every thing is nonetheless there, occasionally just in various places. “How about the taskbar? ”, you ask. Accurate, the default taskbar for Tablet mode is fairly various, but only superficially.

Windows ten can do it, OS X El Capitan can do it—and Chrome OS can do it, as well. By default, it does not have a lot there, but if you happen to be on the desktop a lot, you can add some hyperlinks to your preferred applications.

The procedure is fairly comparable, click (…) and navigate to settings, exactly where you have to appear for ‘open tab with‘ menu.

Note: A couple of of these suggestions involve editing the Windows Registry. In addition, you can also sign up for the month-to-month Discover Windows newsletter, containing extra articles, downloads, and much more.

Windows is now right here to rock the globe! Then they changed the architecture a couple of occasions, added settings to a couple of much more locations in the registry, in the file method that we had to start collecting these, as nicely.

Regardless of the reality that Microsoft is encouraging builders to produce Windows apps, classic desktop functions are extremely a lot alive and are right here to remain for the foreseeable future.

My preference although is for Microsoft’s Repair it which also comes as a transportable application. On 1 of my machines is primarily based on Win7x64-Ultimate.

The new job I was hired for  I was tasked to find a way to automate an incredibly mundane task (the job would turn over after ~1 year because…

Howdy %Name%, As I mentioned a few times I’m reading (and loving) the amazing Atomic Habits book from James Clear. Often we have “high aspirations” to obtain a new goal (Eat healthier, get in shape, learn AutoHotkey, etc.) but, when the goal is a big undertaking, we will find it easy to come up with excuses not to start now. A great way to get around this is to adopt James Clear’s “Two-Minute”…

July AutoHotkey Newsletter

Ironically, the 2️⃣biggest problems I see with developers are: Basic Problem #1. You’re not cocky enough, and you’re trying to sell from your heels.

Basic Problem #2. You’re too cocky.…
