  • Autohotkey
  • Powertoys
  • winget, choco and that other one
  • Faststone
  • advanced Renamer
  • croc
  • shareX
  • oneshot (sadly only on window store)
  • everything

I wouldn’t consider them hidden gems for the tech savvy community, but for the general community pretty much is.

Chocolatey, a command line driven package installer for Windows that works like apt-get for Linux. Replaces thousands of bloated installers with simple commands. My first step with an updated Windows install is to install Chocolatey, open command prompt, and do something like choco install firefox notepadplusplus gimp zoom windirstat winrar to install them all silently.
Installing Chocolatey

Chocolatey is software management automation for Windows that wraps installers, executables, zips, and scripts into compiled packages. Chocolatey integrates w/SCCM, Puppet, Chef, etc. Chocolatey is trusted by businesses to manage software deployments.

Okej, I rebind certain keys, but sometimes it doesn’t pick up the rebinds and actually registers them as the original krypresses, super annoying.
