Based on the most helpful WSO content, downloading programs like Microsoft PowerToys typically depends on your firm's IT policies. In most investment banks, software installations, even for tools like PowerToys, often require approval or need to go through the IT team. This is primarily due to strict compliance, security protocols, and the need to maintain a standardized tech environment.
If you're looking to use PowerToys for keyboard remapping or other productivity enhancements, it's best to check with your IT department first. They might either approve the installation or suggest an alternative tool that's already approved for use within the firm.
