Hey guys it's -Hyperion ✌ I am currently a tech for a fortune 500 company and running a pentesting business.
This here is the ultimate of windows tools an utilities/programs that I use everyday or find very useful for people in the IT fields.
1. Chocolately Chocolatey NuGet is a Machine Package Manager, somewhat like apt-get, but built with Windows in mind.
2. Teracopy Replaces Window's internal file copier and is super fast. Highly recommend getting the paid version.
3. Flux Auto dimms and adjusts your screen temperature to a more natural one. It really does reduce eye strain and help you fall asleep faster.
4. AutoHotKey Automates macros/scripts very easily with a huge user base and library of premade scripts.
5. 7Zip Winrar on steroids.
6. DropBox online file storage system that syncs across devices and has a multitude of 3rd party extensions.
7. Fiddler ever want to see what the hell a website is doing and edit it? This along with firebug/chrome editor is for you.
8. Notepad++ one of the best programmers / text editors on the market that is highly customizable.
9. Launchy One of the best file searchers and launchers available right now with awesome plugins.
10. Real Temp Lets you monitor what your internal PC parts are.
11. YUMI USB Creator best bootable usb creator that lets you add and remove distros. I usually run Hirens, TRK, Deriks, Kon boot and Kali on mine.
12. WinToBoot Hands down the quickest and fastest way to create a bootable windows usb.
13. WireShark The king of traffic monitoring on your network.
14. Tixati My favorite torrent client that is super light weight. You know for torrenting those big distro iso.
15. Bitly greate url shortener with data tracking.
16. Evernote Best note taking program that syncs across all devices and makes it easy to organize.
17. ImgBurn Quickest and most reliable way to burn an image to a CD.
18. SoundSwitch Do you have multiple headphones/speakers plugged in? Then this little bastard is for you.
19. Recuva Easiest to use file recovery program for those" oh shit I did not mean to delete" that moments
20. Lastpass Best and most secure password manager that works on mobile, includes 2FA and lets you use a token.
21. WinDirStat Provides a clear view of where the fat bastard that is taking up 40 gigs on your hard drive is at.
22. PC Decrapifier Love that new laptop smell but hate the bloatware? Download this to fix the issue.
23. WSCC Provides a GUI and a one stop shop for SysInternals and Nirsoft suites.
24. AquaSnap Adds to many features to managing your windows that should come built in. The pro version is worth it on this one.
25. Everything Search Engine This unobtrusive little guy sits in your taskbar and lets you search EVERYTHING on your pc.
26. Direct Folder Ever get lost and cannot remember which directory you where just in that had the file you need? This is for you.
27. Clover Chrome style tabs to the windows file explorer.
28. Chrome Built in sandbox and excellent tools built in. Also google is king of IT repair. Together with No Script, Ad Block Plus and Web of Trust you have a secure browsing experience.
29. Pidgin For those that have multiple IM accounts and need a secure way to communicate.

Thanks for the suggestions however they do not support tokens at this time and 39 bucks a year for features that Lastpass provides for 12 was the deal breaker in this decision.

Fair enough, I've got 6 years and didn't pay for it, there was a lovely referral glitch, I had a year of Lastpass via a Promo but lost my master password so 6 years free isn't bad :)
