What are the seven Windows 10 powerful tools, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain in detail for you, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

Over the past year, Microsoft has quietly released several Windows 10 command-line tools and free app stores, greatly enhancing the functionality of the operating system. Perhaps because these tools are too "professional", Microsoft does not promote these new tools, and many of them are even discovered by "powerful" users themselves.

We will focus on the seven hidden tools of Windows 10, which can be unlocked to give advanced users more control over Windows 10.

Pktmon Network packet sniffer

Microsoft "secretly" added a real-time web traffic monitoring tool called Pktmon in the Windows update on October 10, 2018, and added two new features to the tool in the Windows 10 update in May 2020.

Pktmon network packet sniffer built into Windows 10

In Windows 10 2004, Microsoft added two additional features to Pktmon to view sniffed packets in real time and convert Pktmon logs into PCAPNG support.

Because many network monitoring software, such as Wireshark, support PCAPNG, Pktmon provides users with more options for analyzing logs.

Winget suite administrator

In 2020, Microsoft released Windows 10 package manager Winget, which allows users to install and manage applications directly from the command line.

To install the application using winget, type a command, such as "winget search" to search for the application, or type "winget install" to install the application, as shown below.

Microsoft has created a collated repository of hundreds of applications that can be installed and managed using Winget.

Windows subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)

Windows 10 2004 comes with a new Windows subsystem for Linux 2, which brings higher performance and compatibility with a wider range of Linux applications.

Unlike the first generation of WSL 1, WSL 2 contains a true open source Linux kernel based on Kernel.org version 4.19. WSL 2 also supports full access to regular system calls, improving compatibility with Linux applications and improving file system performance.

Using Ubuntu for WSL 2

WSL 2 includes the following features:

Complete Linux kernel

Improve file IO performance

Comprehensive system call compatibility

WSL 2 uses less memory at startup

If you are already using WSL, you can use the wsl--set-version command to upgrade the installed Linux distribution to WSL 2.

Windows File recovery tool

Usually, when we mistakenly delete the hard disk or move the data in the storage media, we will use third-party data recovery software (many of which are paid for) to recover the data. But many Windows users may not know that Windows 10 has "native" support for data recovery.

Microsoft has quietly added a new Windows 10 File Recovery command line data recovery tool to Windows 10 that allows you to recover deleted files from hard drives, USB drives, and SD cards.

"deleted files for important tools? erase your hard drive? not sure what to do with corrupted data? Windows File Recovery can help you recover your personal data free of charge."

The tool is a command line executable named winfr.exe, and its help file is shown below.

By default, Windows File Recovery Tool comes with three operating modes, default, Segment, and signature, each of which has its own advantages.

PowerToys: make your resource manager more powerful

Windows 10 PowerToys is an open source tool that allows you to extend the capabilities of File Explorer, optimize application windows for large displays, bulk resize images, and more.

Some fairly useful PowerToy features include:

Image size (batch) adjuster

Preview window for Windows File Explorer

Replace slow Windows search with Run-like tool

Modify keyboard shortcuts

Batch file renderer

Color selector

Windows terminal

Windows Terminal is an open source multi-tab console program that allows Windows 10 users to launch multiple shell / console tabs in the same Windows.

For example, one tab of Windows Terminal can run the PowerShell console, another tab can run the Windows 10 command prompt, and another tab can run WSL Ubuntu Shell.

Windows Terminal is highly customizable, supporting hyperlinks, mice, desktop backgrounds, and mapping keyboard commands.

If you continue to use the command line or other Shell, Windows Terminal is a tool you can't miss.

PowerShell 7

Microsoft has also released PowerShell 7 with a range of new features, including automatic new version notifications, structured data (such as JSON, CSV, XML), and other improvements.

New features include:

(1) Pipeline parallelization command: ForEach-Object-Parallel

(2) New operator:

Ternary operator: a?b:c

Pipe chain operator: | | and & &

Null merge operator:?? And?

(3) simplified dynamic error view and Get-Error cmdlet make it easier to investigate errors

(4) compatibility layer, which enables users to import modules in Windows PowerShell hidden sessions

(5) automatic notification of new version

(6) the ability to invoke DSC resources directly from PowerShell 7 (experimental phase).
