What it does

Microsoft PowerToys is a suite of small Windows utilities, installed as one package with a background runner and a Settings app. PowerToys Individual packages the utilities one at a time, so you can install only the ones you use, starting with Awake, which keeps your PC from going to sleep.

Pick your utilities: install one, several, or all of them. The v0.2.0 preview has a package for every utility in PowerToys v0.101.2362.0, including individual Mouse Utilities.
Microsoft's own binaries: the packages use Microsoft's unmodified utility files. The installer checks pinned hashes and Microsoft's signatures, and extracts the official installer without running it.
No admin rights: everything installs for your user account only, with a Start menu shortcut and optional startup at sign-in.
Clean uninstall: each utility gets its own entry in Windows Settings, and removing it cleans up its files, shortcuts, and registrations while keeping your settings.

Status

It's a preview. Awake has been checked on ARM64 and x64, and every utility has passed launch and shutdown checks in a Windows 11 virtual machine, but full feature testing on real hardware is still ahead. There's no standalone Settings app yet: utilities use their own settings files and any editors they ship with. The README has the details.

Try it

In Windows PowerShell, this installs Awake only:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benjweaver/powertoys-individual/v0.2.0/Install.ps1))) -Apps Awake

The README shows how to install other utilities or several at once. Quit the full PowerToys suite first, since both use the same settings locations.
