Works ok?

I honestly don't use it much at all. But the little that I did use it it seemed to work good.

BlueStacks 4

Android emulator

I needed an android emulator in order to be able to remotely control Google Home/Lenovo Smart Display. I couldn't get Bluestacks to show as using the same WiFi SSID as the one actually used by the computer on which it is running. I use Nox instead. It does what I need it to do.

Not a program but a website.

Let's you test out hundreds of types of Linux distros in a browser virtual machine. Although there is significant lag.

Thought it's really cool.

This is only applicable to those with multiple machines at one location,

Not sure if this is useful for anyone else, but in Windows 10 if you hit Windows+Shift+S it will allow you to snip a screen shot using your mouse

Super useful! I did not know this and it will save me lots of time. TY!

Maybe WinMerge.
