Also Voidtools' Everything, but I see others have already mentioned it. I sorely miss that one too...

Fee stuff: Glasswire is interesting and has a free tier; some kind of backup software (I use and love/hate Macrium - it has a yearly fee but it works great backing up to a SMB share on my linux server because screw you for wanting to own software); I recently switched to iDrive for cloud backup for important stuff and it seems fine

Snarky stuff: Balena Etcher so you can write that Linux ISO to a USB stick and install Linux

A few I use at my dayjob.

Almost everything else I use is cross-platform (examples: Espanso, Sublime Text, Krita, CLI utilities, etc), so I don't have much else.

Not sure if you consider WSL cheating for this challenge.
