Bugfix update available for PowerToys 0.14.1

The version 0.14.0 of the PowerToys was withdrawn shortly after the release, as I read here. The reason for the withdrawal was a bug that prevented opening Outlook from Office 365. Outlook got stuck with a black screen. 

Now version 0.14.1 of the PowerToys has been released as patch release. The release notes list a fix for FancyZones in addition to the fix for the Outlook start bug. This should prevent that full screen applications are disturbed. Details about the updated version of PowerToys 0.14.1 and the MSI installer can be found at GitHub
