📝 Provide a description of the new feature

Idea: Add PowerToy Actions to the Action Center (as optional feature)

I would love to see this feature for example for ColorPicker. Because I don't want to use for every thing a new shortcut.

If you'd like to see this feature implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.

@Aaron-Junker Yeah, this would be really useful!

How would this look? Can you tell me your idea, or maybe draw it?
Personally, I think if the tray icon menu will be updated - including items like "Open (...)" - it'll be a fine solution for me.

I would do this for systray instead vs action center. but lets see if this is an API surface that is open.

@crutkas I like to keep very few things in my system tray. I would have gotten rid of it if I didn't need the clock and Wi-Fi. Every thing else is inside the box:

The action center is something I use more often, for features like easy access to Bluetooth and night light. Maybe some PowerToys could be available as one of these little boxes in the action center:

Verified it is non-public API, not possible for PT to adopt currently.

@crutkas Oh, that's too bad.

#1244 is the better route

All those buttons are OS things. Personally consider PT as "just" an app. Too big a difference.
