Looking for good/helpful software for windows to get. Stuff that offers QoL improvements etc

And no I don’t care about Linux so don’t bother suggesting I switch to it.

    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.
