Easier access to PowerToys Utilities with PowerToys Run update

PowerToys Run, a functionality within the PowerToys suite of utilities (an alternative to apps like Alfred or Spotlight on MacOS), is set to receive an update that will make it easier to launch PowerToys own apps. Currently, PowerToys Run allows users to search for files and apps within their system, but the upcoming update will allow users to access a list of PowerToys applications directly from within the launcher.

It's important to note that this isn't a new app, but rather an update to an existing functionality. With this update, users will be able to find PowerToys utilities alongside system apps and files within PowerToys Run. Currently, users can access PowerToys utilities from the system tray without having to open the program separately, however, the upcoming update will make it even easier as if they were regular apps or files if you're a regular Run user.
