Vreemd dat het nog steeds zo'n laag release nummer is, aangezien PowerToys al enorm lang bestaat. Gebruikte vroegah heel veel TweakUI & dan praat ik nog over het Windows 95 tijdperk!
Dat het zo'n laag release nummer heeft komt omdat deze versie van Powertoys een heruitgave is voor Windows 10 en 11, vanaf de grond af aan opnieuw opgebouwd.
Titel “ Software-update: PowerToys 0.80.0” en eerste regel “ Microsoft heeft versie 0.79.0 van PowerToys uitgebracht” zijn conflicterend.

Kan inhoudelijk geen informatie toevoegen, daar ik geen Windows draai.
Waarschijnlijk een copy-past van een ouder bericht. Er is wel degelijk 0.8 beschikbaar.
