Well the one that keeps me needing a Windows machine for on... Ableton Live + VST plug-ins.
Musicbrains Picard is also the best metadata autotag app I've used.
"Reclaim Windows" type powershell scripts, feel like group policy and powershell are underutilized by average desktop users. A lot of the things people complain about with windows you can control with it. Primarily a debain user myself but I need Windows to run Ableton on custom hardware so it is what it is.
Recently discovered subs2srs. Super useful if you are learning a language. It can take a video file of a show or movie, extract the subs, and create Anki flash cards for each line of dialogue. It can even add snapshots, audio, and video clips to the flash cards (though video can have lengthy transcodes, so I just stuck with audio/snapshot on my cards).
Total Commander, great Norton like file manager
Bulk Rename Utility
For the sysadmins under us (and anyone that needs it): TypeClipboard
It essentially is a sort of auto-typer typing what's in the current clipboard.
Great for remote mangement and typing in the password into a login field because CTRL+V doesnt work.

I could never afford it but Rationale is very cool for the inner logician/thinker/schizo in me
Like mentally I literally consider it a cool gem
