Windows 10 to get Spotlight-like launcher with PowerToys

Microsoft is working on a tool that will let you replace the Windows Run feature on Windows 10. The Spotlight-like launcher for Windows 10 will be released later this year, as part of the company's effort to customize Win+R and give users numerous features but keep the handling as easy as possible at the same time.

Microsoft's Spotlight-like launcher for Windows 10 is said to be part of PowerToys upcoming update. According to Microsoft, PowerToys Run is designed to replace Win + R shortcut.

I use Ulauncher on my computers, and I can't imagine using them without it. It's about time a similar feature came from Microsoft, but the fact it's a separate PowerToy thing and not a default on Windows means it'll remain a niche thing. This should be standard out of the box.
