Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
PowerToys V0.97 is becoming more and more powerful and bringing more possibilities . New amazing features are added into the "App family".
However , the startup speed and performance seems to be lower on my computer . Whiles switching between settings in the dialogue , I have to wait 1~2 seconds.
I wonder that, PowerToys offer some many features but I don't want to own all of them. Is anyway to unload some features , such as File Locksmith, New+, Peek view, screen ruler, awake??
If no solutions on current version , is possible on future version?
### Scenario when this would be used?
I want to customize the features of PowerToys and unload unexpected features , only keep those what I need.
I expect the performance can be higher, more smooth while starting up and switching , reduce the complexity of settings dialogue .

Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how PowerToys starts its utilities and builds the settings dialog, focusing on File Locksmith, New+, Peek, Screen Ruler, and Awake. Done would require a defined way to select utilities to unload and evidence that startup and settings responsiveness improve.
