Seeing lots of excellent suggestions for general (7-zip, Notepad++, etc).

Foobar2000 is a good music player

I don’t know if it’s good, but I guess there is now a Lemmy Desktop app webcatalog.io/en/apps/lemmy/

I saw you said you use Plex. I assume you use Steam for gaming?

Is there any specific feature/use you want QoL improvements for?

If it came from an OEM then their tool that grabs driver/software updates. Lenovo Vantage for instance.

If it didn’t, then native apps that perform a similar task. Intel has one for their software/drivers, and another that’s only for their gpu. GeForce experience is another for their gpu cards. Likely others.

Powertoys. So many little apps that make things easier.

Monitor .inf files. I usually don’t notice an improvement but I like seeing my monitor in device manager instead of “Generic”

I used to say “Greenshot” but win11’s built in screenshot capture is good enough.

I go to the office website and make a PWA out of it. Makes it easy to open documents in their free web interface versions of office.

I make a PWA out of my gmail account web page.

Bitwarden or whatever password manager you use if not Edge.

Process Explorer is still great.

  • PowerToys - originally this was an internal set of utilities that MS engineers made and decided to publish, lots of useful stuff
  • AgentRansack - For searching the content of files
  • Everything - For searching for file names
  • PUTTY - to connect to a more civilized OS (SSH client)
  • Obsidian - one note but better and offline.
  • Notepad++ - notepad but not shit
  • HWInfo64 - detailed system infomation and sensor info
  • WizTree - file usage analyzer, much better than the popular WinDirStat

Those go on every machine that I use, then you have your more specialized programs depending on industry.

It’s been many years since I had a windows desktop, but that list is right on. Great base software for your install.

saigot ,

Don’t use WIndirstat, It is needlessly slow. Use something like WizTree instead

CaptainBasculin ,

If you have a huge media library, an organizer like Kodi or Jellyfin helps a lot.

yuuunikki OP ,

I use one plex

CaptainBasculin ,

That’s a solid one too.
