### 0.45 - August 2021 Update ### 0.47 - September 2021 Update
Our goals for the [v0.45 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F23) primarily centered around stability updates and optimizations, installer updates, general bug fixes, and accessibility improvements. Our goals for the [v0.47 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F24) primarily centered around stability updates and optimizations, installer updates, general bug fixes, and accessibility improvements.
We also worked extensively with the community to build an updated settings menu UI. This UI update takes advantage of the latest styling elements to provide users with a refreshed, modern experience navigating the various utilities and their settings. Notably, based on the community feedback received, PowerToys has re-introduced the highly-requested ability to activate Shortcut Guide via holding the `Win` key. PowerToys also now allows various commands in PowerToys Run to be used in either the universal English phrasing or system-localized translation. The great feedback the community provides is invaluable in helping PowerToys continually grow and improve as a product.
An experimental version of [PowerToys (v0.46)][github-prerelease-link] was released the week of September 13th. Download and install it to try out the latest improvements to our Video Conference Mute utility! All updates from the v0.45.0 release will still apply in v0.46.0. An experimental version of PowerToys (v0.48) will be released the week of October 4th, introducing improvements to our Video Conference Mute utility! All updates from the v0.47.0 release will still apply in v0.48.
