Three free Microsoft apps for Windows: Power Automate, Virtual Desktops, and FancyZones (PowerToys)

These apps declutter Windows by automating tasks (Power Automate), organizing apps into workspaces (Virtual Desktops), and customizing window layouts (FancyZones).

Power Automate

FancyZones (PowerToys)
Customizes window layouts beyond Snap; available via GitHub, Microsoft Store, or winget with per-monitor support. Useful for ultrawide monitors.
