Beyond Compare 4 - various types of file comparison and merging operations.

WinDirStat - makes it easy to identify and clean up files taking up your drive space.

Everything - I resisted using this for a long time and wish I hadn't.

Joplin - note taking app with markdown editor.

QTranslate - discontinued freeware, most recent version that I'm aware of is 6.10.0. very useful translation app that supports Google, DeepL, Yandex and others.

RapidCRC (Unicode) - file hash creation and verification

also shout out to Windows Firewall, not really a new thing but many people don't bother learning how to use it properly.

In my experience SpaceSniffer was slightly faster than WinDirStat.

Also if you just want to quickly check the hash of a file you can use the 7Zip right click menu, but it won't verify a file, to my knowledge.

There is also Wiztree which is WAY faster than both SpaceSniffer and WinDirStat.

It can scan a 8 TB HDD in a few seconds and not hours (exaggeration) like WinDirStat
